Eve

Eve was the first woman and mother of all humanity, created by God in His image as a helper and companion to Adam. She played a pivotal role in human history, both as the bearer of the promise of redemption and as the first to succumb to temptation.

Overview

Eve was created by God as a companion and helper for Adam, sharing equally in God's image and His command to steward creation. She was the first woman and became the mother of all living people. Her choice to eat the forbidden fruit resulted in humanity's fall into sin, yet God promised that her offspring would ultimately defeat Satan.
