“Eve – The Mother of Humanity” (Genesis 3:20)

God’s creation of humanity in His image is lacking without a woman, Genesis 1:27 & 5:1-2. God’s women are just as equally essential, equally loved & equally valued as God’s men, 1st Cor. 11:8-12. They should be honored for their privileged position in bearing children and completing our humanity in God’s image.

Eve was God’s created “Helper”, Gen. 2:18-20, for Adam. Without her “help”, Adam would become hopeless, helpless and only half the man God intended him to be. The word Helper in Hebrew is “EZER – the aid and/or giving succour”. Both the Psalmist and Isaiah call God our “Helper”, and in the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is our Helper and/or Comforter, (John 14:16, 26, 15:26, 16:7) It is a great honor to be designed as a Helper/Comforter in God’s eyes, as He is a Helper too. God’s first woman was described by God as a Helper before Adam named her Eve, meaning “life giver and/or living” – HAUA in Hebrew, Gen. 3:20

When Eve had her firstborn, Cain, she acknowledged God’s source of power as the LORD of life, Gen. 4:1. Every woman that wants to be a woman of God should profess and confess that Christ is the source of her life-giving ability, Colossians 1:16-17. 

The most blessed woman of God, the mother of Jesus, credited God as the holy life-giving power when she rejoiced with Elizabeth in her pregnancy, Luke 1:41-49. When women of God do this, they glorify God and He blesses them! If God had not worked this miracle through Mary & Elizabeth, would we learn to give God the credit in our own reproduction? Or would we take all the credit for ourselves by our own knowledge in biology? See Isaiah 49:5 & Jeremiah 1:5. Eve started this wisdom of God with her firstborn! Our life begins with the opportunity to credit God for our life. Every good parent should reinforce and reiterate that to their children. If we decide to refuse or neglect devotion of ourselves to Christ, we will be emulating Eve’s greatest mistake, 2nd Corinthians 11:3. Eve’s deception caused her to fall for the devil’s tricky lie, that God doesn’t really mean what he says, see Genesis 3:1-4. Jesus says the devil is the father of lies because he first deceived Eve the mother of humanity, (John 8:44) Eve was duped by the Devil, but she was also betrayed by Adam, as he was with her when she fell (Genesis 3:6) It was his responsibility to protect and remind her that God really does mean what he says. Therefore Adam must take more responsibility and become a better spiritual leader. See 1st Timothy 2:11-15. The first sin entering into the world was not a sin of commission by eating the forbidden fruit. The first sin was of omission as Adam did not stop her, he was an eyewitness to her tragedy and remained silent as Satan insidiously tricked her into eating. Man is supposed to help Woman spiritually, while Woman is supposed to help Man physically.
