The Top Ten

  1. The Resurrection of Jesus

    After three days, Jesus rose from the grave. The Resurrection of Jesus represents Him winning and Satan losing. It is very important that Jesus did rise again because it shows Jesus was the actual savior.

    His resurrection also sets up a string of events that lead to the formation of the Church. It is recorded in all four Gospels (Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20).

  2. The Death of Jesus

    The Death of Jesus is the most important event in the Bible. The whole book revolves around His death on the cross. The Old Testament predicts His death in Messianic prophecy, the Gospels tell His story, and the rest of the New Testament explains what His death was for and what it means.

    All four Gospels record the event (Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, and John 19). The Death of Jesus broke the wall between Jew and Gentile and created a way in which we could be saved. Without the Death of Jesus, we could not be saved.

    Jesus shed his love by dying on the Cross for our sins and rose on the third day to forgive us.

  3. The Birth of Jesus

    Jesus' death and resurrection don't happen if Jesus isn't born. His birth fulfills even more Messianic prophecy. His birth is a key event in the timeline. His birth is recorded in three of the four Gospels (Matthew 1, Luke 2, John 1).

    I think it is the most important as it led to all these events happening.

  4. The First Sin

    Life was all good before Adam and Eve made the worst mistake humankind has ever made. They disobeyed God and chose to obey Satan. They created a division between us and God in the form of sin.

    It also sets up the sacrifice of Christ in the New Testament, so we have a chance to rid ourselves of sin. It is recorded in Genesis 3.

    God made everything good until Eve ate the sinful fruit because the snake tricked her, and Adam ate it too!

  5. The Sermon on the Mount

    The Sermon on the Mount was one of the first sermons Jesus spoke, and it was a good one. He covered multiple topics and spoke multiple parables, and some of them are infused into today's culture.

    This was also one of the first times He was noticed by the Jewish hierarchy. It is recorded in Matthew 5-7.

  6. The Fulfillment of Messianic Prophecy

    The fulfillment in the New Testament of Messianic prophecy scattered throughout the Old Testament gives credibility to the claim that Jesus is the Son of God. Every prophecy was fulfilled.

  7. The First Gospel Sermon

    After Jesus' death, it seemed almost hopeless. The disciples of Christ were in shambles until Jesus rose again. The disciples then chose to do God's will and preach the First Gospel Sermon.

    It is commonly accepted that every disciple spoke, but Acts records Peter in particular in Acts 2. These sermons, also called the First Gospel Sermon, paved the way and set up the Church.

  8. The Delivery of the Ten Commandments

  9. The Conversion of Paul

    Paul's conversion was huge. Paul, who went by Saul before the conversion, was a man who actively persecuted Christians. He assisted in the murder of Stephen in Acts 7.

    On the road to Damascus in Acts 9, Paul was blinded by God, who told him to get baptized. He eventually was baptized and became a staunch supporter of Christ. He later made multiple missionary trips and helped multiple churches.

  14. The Creation of Adam

    Okay, yes, technically, this is a more specific part of the item "Creation," but this is when God made the first man from the dust of the earth and gave him the Breath of Life. Somehow, he and his wife, Eve (who at the time was Adam's rib, I guess), managed to populate the entire world. (If you can give a better spin on this one, feel free to.)

  15. The Enslavement of the Israelites in Egypt

  16. The Betrayal of God by the Devil

    The devil used to be God's angel because he was in charge of music but became arrogant because he wanted to be God!

  17. The Council of Nicaea

  18. The Crusades

  19. Moses Parting the Red Sea

  20. Our Lady of Fátima
