Eve Mother of The Living!

Eve What comes to you mind when you hear the “name Eve” Only one word about Eve Rib Adam Fruit Abel Pain Cain Naked Hide Seth Serpent Deceived Promise 6

q We cannot talk about Adam and not talk about Eve. q Why is that? q Well, simple, God created the woman for the man, and in that regard Adam and Eve and very attached to one another in every aspect since the beginning of Creation! q The Bible class this morning is about – q‘The Story of Eve’. q The name Eve means ‘Mother of all living’ and so I feel it appropriate this morning to take a look at her life and see how she fulfilled the duties of

There are three phases of Eve’s life – 1. Eve and the Side of Adam 2. Eve and the Serpent in the Garden 3. Eve and the Savior of

Eve and the Side of Adam. Eve: Again like Adam, ü Has no mother and no father. ü She was taken out of the different from Wemen read in the book of Genesis – Genesis 2: 7 And the LORD God formed Adam. man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the

Eve and the Side of Adam The name Adam is the Hebrew word for man. Red Earth, Dust. God made Adam and He placed him in the garden. As we go a little farther in this chapter, we see that Adam was placed there not only to live, but to serve.

Eve and the Side of Genesis 2: 15 Adam And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Most of us look upon our work as unpleasant, but before the fall work was part of man’s worship. Adam was given the duty of caring for the home God had given him. In addition to this, Adam was also given the responsibility to rule

Eve and the Side of Genesis Adam 2: 19 -20 (NKJV) 19 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for

Eve and the Side of Adam named all of the animals and he was assigned the task of managing them. Men are often criticized for being so driven in their work, yet men were created to work. Now that’s not to say that men should become ‘workaholics. ’ God did not intend for us to put our work before our family or our

Eve and the Side of Adam Genesis 2: 18 18 And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone”

Eve and the Side of Adam Genesis 2: 18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone … ‘Not good’ means: not pleasant, not agreeable, not prosperous, not beneficial. Most of the time, whenever I conduct a wedding I always think in this passage. “So when God said that it was not good for man to be alone, was that because God had made a mistake? Obviously God did not make a mistake. He knew exactly what He was doing; yet He needed to help Adam realize that he needed a companion. Probably after naming all of the animals, Adam thought – ‘Everything else in God’s creation has a mate.

Eve and the Side of Genesis 2: 18 “I will make him a helper Adam comparable to him. " I will make someone who is suitable for his needs. Man needed a mate and mankind needed a mother, and so God made a woman and Adam called her Eve, which means – ‘The Mother of All Living. ’ Sometime back I had the opportunity to watch a video of Ken Ham and during this time he called my attention by saying: There are not many races of men upon this earth; there is only one race, the human race, and therefore every human being that has ever

Eve and the Side of Adam Genesis 2: 18 “I will make him a helper comparable to him. " Adam needed a helper and so God made one perfectly suited for his needs. John Mac. Arthur says some wonderful things about Eve in his book, ‘Twelve Extraordinary Women‘ – “No other woman could possibly surpass Eve’s grace, charm, virtue, ingenuity, intelligence, wit and innocence. She was a wonderful illustration of the goodness of God’s grace and the perfect wisdom of His will. She was God’s special gift to man. She was the necessary partner and she

Eve and the Side of Adam Scripture tells us how God made Eve. Genesis 2: 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and

Eve and the Side of Adam We all can see that God did not create the woman the same way He created man. God created man from the dust of the ground, yet He created the woman from a rib that came from the man’s side. Matthew Henry said something very important

Eve and the Side of Adam “The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved. ”

Eve and the Side of When. Adam awoke and saw his mate, he said – Genesis 2: 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Eve and the Side of Adam intimacy between There was immediate the first husband wife. She was literally bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. The title ‘woman’ means – “from man” marking forever her origin and purpose. She was created to come along side of her husband to help him fulfill his God-given duties. That was true for the first marriage and it has been true for every marriage

Eve and the Side of Adam Genesis 2: 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. That statement is so important in the sight of God that it is quoted both by Christ and the Apostle Paul to emphasize the sacredness of the marriage covenant. God’s plan for the home is that one man be joined to one woman

Eve and the Side of The Apostle Paul teaches us how this special Adam union is to be lived out Ephesians 5: 21 -28 21 submitting to one another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or

Eve and the Side of There are three key words that help us to Adam understand the marriage relationship: Support, Sacrifice, and Sacredness. Eve was to give of herself to support Adam as he endeavored to fulfill his God-given duties, and Adam was to sacrifice of himself in order to provide for and to protect his special gift from God. As they mutually submitted and cared for each other, there was to be a bond a trust between them that could only be described as

Eve and the Side of Adam Genesis 2: 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and

Eve and the Serpent in the Yet, unfortunately, paradise did not last Garden forever. Genesis 3: 1 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? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it; neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened , and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a

Eve and the Serpent in the Garden We’re not for sure how long the first honeymoon lasted. Sometime after God performed the first wedding ceremony, sin entered the home. Satan found a way to drive a wedge between God and man and between man and his wife. Many have tried to understand why Satan tempted the woman instead of the man. The apostle Paul states twice that she was deceived. (2 Cor 11: 3; 1 Tim 2: 14) She even takes it a step further and says that they should not even touch the forbidden fruit. Perhaps Adam added

Eve and the Serpent in the Garden Personally I believe that Eve was deceived because Satan appealed to her desire to please her husband. Many attack Eve for what she did and indeed she deliberately disobeyed God. Yet the Bible says that she was deceived. That is not to say that what she did was any less wrong, yet it does help us to understand why she did what she did. Genesis 3: 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired

Eve and the Serpent in the Garden Regardless of the reason, Eve’s decision has affected each of us. We are each born with a sin nature that is the result of Adam and Eve’s disobedience in the garden. The Bible says: ‘All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. ’ (Romans 3: 23) ‘Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. ’ (Rom 5: 12)

Eve and the Serpent in the Garden The affect of Adam and Eve’s sin was the passing down of this problem to every human and a hardship and every life. For men, it involved their work nature. Genesis 3: 17 -19 17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life. 18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for

Eve and the Serpent in the Garden A part of Adam’s curse for disobeying God was that his work was no longer joy, but now drudgery. Sin affected the woman in an entirely different way. Genesis 3: 16 To the woman He said: "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your

Eve and the Savior of the World I am so thankful for vs. 20 of Genesis 3: 20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. I am so thankful that with God, there is always hope, even for a struggling marriage. Adam named his wife Eve, which means ‘The Mother of All Living. ’ Giving her that name is a ray of hope on

Eve and the Savior of the Genesis 3: 15 (NKJV) World 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 bruisethe His woman heel. " and The hostility between 15 the serpent is more than women hating snakes. In Genesis 3: 15, God revealed to Satan and to mankind His plan of salvation. Eve’s sin did not catch God by surprise.

Eve and the Savior of the Genesis 3: 15 (NKJV) World And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And shall bruise We readyou in Ephesians 1: 4 – His “…heel. " He hath chosen us in him before 15 the foundation of the world …“ Before Genesis 1: 1, there was John 3: 16. Before there was ‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’, there was ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. ‘ The decision had already been made for how God would save the world from its sin and the plan had already been established that the Savior would come – ‘born of a woman. ’

Eve and the Savior of the The ‘seed’ Genesis 3: 15 speaks of is a reference to a child or World offspring that would save us from our sins. When Eve gave birth to her first child, Cain, she thought that he would be her savior. Genesis 4: 1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived , and bare Cain, and said , I have gotten a man from the LORD. Many believe that she said, “I have gotten ‘the’ man from the LORD. ” But soon it became evident that Cain was not the savior. How then would God send His Son into the world? We are told in the book of Isaiah 7: 14 “…Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. ”

Eve and the Savior of the World The seed that God promised to Eve was the Lord Jesus Christ, Christ the divine God-man who came into the world to save

I chose the story of Eve for today because it reveals to us much about our lives. ü God created us for a very special purpose, yet that purpose was contaminated by sin. üSince the days of Adam and Eve, many husbands and wives have longed for a perfect relationship, yet have failed to find it. üSin has made every one of us selfish and self-centered. But there is hope. üGod has a plan. üThrough the sending of His Son and His sacrifice on the cross for our sins, God has crushed the head of the serpent and if any man or woman be in Christ, they are a new creation.

ØWhat Can I learned from Eve? When The Lord says NO, is No. Lets not become disobedient and bring upon us all the consequences for that sin! Life is still beautiful. They move on (Adam and Eve) so can we even if we have committed any sin. (repent) Remember, the effect of what we do, will be written in the pages of history and life
