FIRST WOMAN ~ EVE

FIRST WOMAN ~ EVE

Genesis 2-3

“⁷ Then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper as his complement.”  (Do go and read both chapters for all the wonderful details.)

<<<<<<<>>>>>>> 

Adam was made from DUST – soil, the ground.  

Everything else was made out of nothing but God’s imagination that spoke it all into being.

Adam was made from what was already made, but he did not live until the BREATHE OF GOD breathed into his nostrils the spirit of life prepared for him beforehand

Every animal had a mate, but Adam had none...and God said it was not good for man to be alone (incomplete.)

God did not made Adam’s mate the same as he did Adam…He made his mate out of him!

God does first surgery and puts Adam into a deep sleep; removes one of his ribs; and closes him back up. Adam shed some of his own blood to get his bride!

God took a part of Adam that was already living with blood cells in it and fashioned it and breathed into her the spirit of life prepared for her beforehand…

God performed the First Marriage 

God brought her to Adam as a Special Gift for a Special Person to complete him and be an equal to help him…not to serve him – to be as one…like two sides of a knife that make ONE blade!

A Helper is one who helps to do what you can’t do by yourself!  That is true of husband and wife…and it is true of us and The Holy Spirit.  He is our Helper to do what we can’t do by ourselves.  

Notice that Adam and Eve were naked, but had no shame…until sin, and then they were ashamed of their nakedness and covered themselves.

God sacrificed the first animal and shed its blood to make clothing to cover their sinfulness!

Adam named the animals…and he named his wife, EVE

 because she was the mother of all the living.

She would be partner with God in giving life!

 WOW!

NOTE:  I am studying the women God has recorded in His Word to see why we were created so magnificently in His Image and from His Heart.  He created us as His crowning glory and we need to embrace His Purpose to find true Delight!
