Question:
What is the first question in the Bible?
Answer:
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” (Genesis 3:1).
The result of the question is in verses 2-9: The woman sinned. Satan lied to her, so she ate of the tree. Because our first parents sinned we are born sinners, born into a sinful race (Romans 5:12, Psalm 51:5). Adam turned away from God, and all his descendants did also, for “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6).
We all need to have our sins taken away so we can go to heaven. We need to be saved! Christ bore the wrath of God against our sins on the cross of Calvary and therefore “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36).
