Connection with God's first promise in Genesis 3
In Genesis 3:15 God told the serpent that the woman's offspring would crush his head. Paul took up that promise and gave it to the church in Rome: "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." The victory God promised in the garden now belongs to the people of Jesus.

God promised that the woman's offspring would crush the serpent's head and be struck on the heel (Genesis 3:15). That line passed through Jacob, born with his hand on his brother's heel, and ended with Jesus, whose heel was struck on the cross. Paul applies the promise to the church here.
