What does the Bible say about the first gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The first gospel, known as the Proto-Evangelium, is found in Genesis 3:15 where God promises victory over sin through the woman’s seed.

The first gospel is revealed in Genesis 3:15 when God tells the serpent, ‘I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed.’ This statement is significant as it marks the beginning of God's redemptive plan after the fall of man. It indicates a confrontation between Satan and humanity, where God promises that a descendant of the woman will ultimately defeat the serpent, signifying the victory of Christ over sin and death. This is often referred to as the Proto-Evangelium, or the first proclamation of the gospel, emphasizing God's initiative in offering grace and a promise of redemption even in the midst of sin's curse.
