Here’s some notes and resources on the series we’re currently in on the Women of Genesis. Today’s woman? Eve.

Eve and Her Man

• Adam was extremely romantic, singing her songs and calling her by pet names. Men: practice this. It works.

Eve and Marriage

• Because Adam was romantic to her, they got married. Literally, they became one. Just as God is one. Marriage is a shadow unto God.

Eve and Sex

• The logical timeline here: romantic dating…marriage…sex. It’s the design of the creator, not just the wishes of man. Sex is a tri-fold act given to us by God: it consummates the covenant, procreates children, and gives us recreation and enjoyment.

Eve and the Fall

• The Fall occured for two reasons: lack of leadership on behalf of the man and lack of discernment/wisdom on behalf of the woman. Both need to be taken care of in a relationship.

Eve and Her Role

• Submission of the woman is not due to lack of ability or value, but rather due to an obedience unto God. The submission of the woman helps keep her within salvation (1 Timothy 2:15).

Eve and the Gospel

• People always try to fix things, whether male or female. Adam and Eve made clothes for themselves. No can do. Only God can cover our sins by the shedding of blood (Genesis 3:21).
