Women of the bible

I started a study this week on my own of the women of the bible. I have only done Eves study so far and actually written it out and wrote questions about her. I have also done research one sarah and Rachel and Leah. It is very encouraging to read through their lives about the things they went through and who they were. Eve gets a lot of grief because she committed the first sin but Adam also had the choice to sin or not and he did it also. She wasn't the only one to do it. Eve went through so many firsts but she was not the first to be a child. Eve was never a child. God created her and she was just put in the position of a wife. She was the first to be a wife, first mother, first women. Think about all the things eve experienced for us. She did a lot for us. She is the mother of all living. She was the first mother to have a son die. Her sin caused a lot of pain and she had to live with that. She also was the only women to ever live in the garden of Eden and be in companionship with God. 

We can learn a lot from Eves life and we also can from Sarah and the other amazing women God has created! I am really enjoying making my own study of the women of the bible and am learning a lot. God created women for a specific purpose and to be certain people and we have some great role models in the bible for us. They sinned just like us and God restored them. There are some very beautiful people and very passionate people. 

Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. (Genesis 3:20 NIV).
