Find Jesus in the First Promise

Right after the first sin, with shame and blame hanging heavy in the air, God does something remarkable. Before he even lays out all the consequences for humanity, he turns to the serpent — Satan himself — and embeds the Bible’s very first promise of a Savior — a promise so important that it's often called the "first gospel."

In humanity’s darkest moment, God’s first response wasn’t just to deal with sin, but to declare spiritual war on our adversary and announce his plan for ultimate victory. It’s a plan that reveals how God would use a human to crush our spiritual enemy, and it’s a plan that points directly to Jesus from the very beginning.
