Creation · In the line to Jesus

Eve

The first woman, fashioned by God from Adam’s rib to be his companion and helper. Eve was deceived by the serpent in the Garden of Eden and ate the forbidden fruit, an act that brought sin into the world. Despite this, God gave her a profound promise—that her offspring would one day crush the serpent’s head. She became the mother of Cain, Abel, and Seth, earning the title ‘mother of all the living.’

Where to read about Eve

Genesis 2:21-23

So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh. And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him. And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”

A river, two trees, and the first breath of life. Humanity's story begins not in a city but in a garden.

Genesis 3:20

And Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all the living.

Something goes terribly wrong in paradise. But hidden in the words of judgment is the first whisper of a rescue plan.

Genesis 4:1

And Adam had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain.

The first family becomes the first crime scene. Sin crouches at the door — and Cain opens it.

Eve doesn't appear in the direct line from Adam to Jesus, but stands one step from it through Adam, who does. See the whole line.
