Life of Adam And Eve in The Bible

Early situations before Adam And Eve

A question always arises in the human mind that how life gets started? How are humans created? what were the life of Adam and Eve in the Bible? We get The answer to this question from the bible specially from the creation story. At the beginning there was nothing except God. 

Universe was completely dark but God’s light was present. God then decided to create creatures for Himself. He creates angles and we know they are very disciplined and strict to God’s order. 

God wanted to create a new creator who can accept God and worship Him by their own will. Therefore he decided to make humans. First of all God created a man whose name was Adam. His place of living was in the Garden of paradise which is known as the garden of Eden.

Creation of Adam and Eve

Adam started to live there but God noticed one thing and that was he was very lonely. He should have a partner who can give him company and they can enjoy their life. So, God created Eve. She became the wife of Adam and they started to live happily in the garden of Eden.

Adam And Eves Living Place And God’s Order

God gave them all facilities and blessings but for their test He ordered them to stay away from a specific tree. This tree is known as the Tree of Life. They were curious about that tree and why God did so but they moved on thinking that God instructed them so they should implement it.

Satan Seducing Adam And Eve

We all know about Satan who wanted to rule on God’s throne and was very jealous of the new creation means Adam and Eve. He never wanted them to obey God so that as he was punished God also punished them.

So he thought of a trick. He went to the garden in the form of a serpent to seduce Adam and Eve. As He was very clever by the way. He told them that God himself created a tree whose fruits are very special. A person can get God’s power and can rule on his throne just by eating the fruit of a tree.

Adam And Eve’s Disobedience of God 

Adam and Eve got seduced and except for following God’s order they decided to eat the fruit of that tree. The reason for their distraction was greed. They went to that specific tree and started to eat the fruit of the tree. 

Now their misfortune started and God punished them badly.

Punishment of God For Their Disobedience 

God addressed them and asked that doesn’t he stopped them from doing this act? They apologized and said that they were caught in the clever plan of Satan.

God told them that due to the sin they have to face difficulties and hardships and can never live again in the garden with facilities and blessings.

Adam And Eve’s on Earth

God undressed them and sent them to earth for punishment. Do you know how earth was a punishment for them? Basically the garden of heaven was full of fruits, food, comfort, water, milk, honey and many more. But the earth was barren with no facilities. 

They have to work for their living and on earth God punished Eve to birth children. They both caught into a hardworking and tough situation. Adam started to work on land so that he can grow crops and fulfill their requirements. On the other hand Eve has to birth children and experience pain and labour.

Children of Adam And Eve

They lived a very hard life on the earth. They had many children. Among them some are popular and were known for their sacrifice and murder. Their names were Abel and Cain. 

Abel and Cain were brothers and in God’s order they gave sacrifice according to  their will. Abel was pious and he gave sacrifice honestly and with heart. On the other hand Cain did not do this with a good heart. 

God appreciated Abel instead of Cain and He got jealous. Due to this jealousy he killed Cain. Similarly there are more names of their children which are known but prominent are Abel, Cain and Seth.

Death of Adam And Eve

According to the Bible they died at a very old  age. We can find the age of Adam as he was 930 years old but Eve’s death was unknown and where they are buried are still confusing and many think they are buried in the cave where Abraham and his descendants are buried in Jerusalem. 

“His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.” (Genesis 25:9–10)

Lesson from Satan betray And Adam And Eve’s Life 

We get the lesson from Satan’s betrayal that he is a bad companion and a liar. He acts as he is our friend and wants good for us but in reality he just wants bad for us. As God punished him due to his greed so he also wanted the same for humans.

He wanted to seduce humans so that they became astray and were caught in punishment. Similarly we should also remain firm on God’s order and will and except listening to Satan clever plans always act upon the teachings of God.

 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

(1 Corinthians 15:22-30)

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.”

Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour?

(1 Corinthians 15:30-44)

And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour? I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”  Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.

The Resurrection Body 

But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another.

There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

(Romans 5:13-21)

 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come. But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 

Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! 

Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death. So also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

(Genesis 2:20–22)

So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

(Genesis 3:8)

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

(Genesis 3:6)

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

(Genesis 5:5)

Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.

(Romans 5:12)

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.

(Luke 24:46)

He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

(Mark 10:6)

“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’

(1 Corinthians 15:22)

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

(Genesis 2:8–9)

Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

(Revelation 12:7–9)

Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
