The most beautiful woman in the world.
The mother of all mankind.
Read about her in Genesis 3,4. She is mentioned by name 4 times in Scripture:
Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Genesis 4:1-2 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
After Cain killed Abel (Genesis 4:3-8) Eve brought forth a third son, Seth (Genesis 4:25). These are the only children named, but how many children did Adam and Eve have?
Genesis 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
The Apostle Paul reminds believers that Eve was beguiled (charmed, enchanted, in a deceptive way) by the serpent and warns us to beware.
2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Although he does not spell it out, Eve was tricked into sin, Adam CHOSE to follow her, therefore SIN entered into the world by one MAN. (Romans 5:12)
He then puts things in there order.
1 Timothy 2:13-14 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
