When was forgiveness first seen in Bible?

Answer 1

Many point to this Scripture of the promised coming of the Messiah:

Genesis 3:15New King James Version (NKJV)

15 And I will put enmity

Between you and the woman,

And between your seed and her Seed;

He shall bruise your head,

And you shall bruise His heel."

The major fact here is that even before the foundations of the world were laid, the God Family - Father and Word - knew mankind would fall and a perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world would be required. Part of God's Plan for the salvation of His future children.

Answer 2

Christians believe the first time was when He paid for the sins of mankind from before the foundations of the world. Jews, and many Christians, also believe the first example of forgiveness can be read about in the Book of Genesis: after Adam and Eve sinned and were driven from the Garden, God did not destroy them, and although He punished them for their disobedience, he then forgave them by giving them the opportunity to repent. He also allowed them to start a new life, have a family, and learn from what they had done wrong.

Answer 3

god first began to forgive when he spared Adam and eve's life while they were in the garden of eden....
