Have you ever wondered what the first human words in the Bible were? Turns out, they weren’t a command, a complaint, or even a question—they were a love poem. That’s right! Adam, the very first man, opens his mouth for the first time… and immediately starts gushing about Eve.
What do you think?
The First Love Song in History
Picture the scene: Adam has just woken up from the world’s first nap (courtesy of God borrowing a rib), and suddenly, there she is—Eve. No hesitation, no awkward small talk. His first recorded words are pure admiration:It’s the Bible’s first love song—a spontaneous burst of awe at the gift of companionship. Forget roses and chocolates; Adam went straight to poetry!“This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” (Genesis 2:23)
Why This Matters More Than You Think
- Love Came Before the Fall – Before sin entered the world, the first human emotion expressed was joyful connection. That’s powerful!
- Equality in the Design – Adam doesn’t call Eve “lesser” or “other”; he calls her part of himself. No hierarchy—just unity.
- God’s Idea of Relationship – Marriage wasn’t humanity’s invention; it was God’s plan from the start, celebrated in Adam’s first words.
A Contrast to the Serpent’s Words
Later, the serpent twists language to create doubt (Genesis 3:1). But Adam’s first words? Life-giving, affirming, and full of love. Coincidence? Probably not.The Takeaway? Love Starts Well
Before work, before struggles, before anything else—the Bible shows us that love was humanity’s first language. And that’s a reminder worth holding onto.What do you think?
