Adam and Eve

Saved or Not Saved, that is The Question

THE DOCTRINES OF GRACE

In the book of Genesis chapter 3 we read YHWH saying, “…and I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.” Genesis 3:15. Let me first come out and say I believe our first parents Adam and Eve are SAVED in with our Lord because they died in faith. In a short conversation I had mentioned that Adam named his wife Eve, her name means “Life”, she is the mother of all the living. Adam honored his wife by calling her Eve. Adam could have called her another name meaning the opposite but he didn’t, he named her Eve which leads me to believe Adam had to believe in the mercy of YHWH because of what YHWH said in Genesis 3:15.

That very day they both ate of the fruit they died spiritually and started to die physically by decay. YHWH could have destroyed them both, but He didn’t, He showed mercy by allowing to live.

It Has Always Been Grace

Immediately what do we see? We see YHWH giving them a covering, not just a covering to protect them from the environment but a covering, an atoning covering. Later we see these animal skin sacrifices in Numbers 4:6, Leviticus 4:11 just to name a couple. These sacrifices served as a foreshadow of the One perfect and final sacrifice for the true covering of atonement for the redeemed.

After Being Cast Out of the Garden

We see by example that Their children in Cain and Able, they offered sacrifices to YHWH which tells me that Adam must have taught them to do so. Genesis 4:3-4 So it happened in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh of the fruit of the ground. Abel, on his part, also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And Yahweh had regard for Abel and for his offering.

Adam in the Lineage and What About Eve?

I want to close this with this one last point, Adam is included in the lineage as head to those redeemed up to Joseph! Adam is not only head of the fallen race but also of the redeemed race. He is not numbered under the cursed of Cain but of the redeemed of Able. Eve had a faith just by seeing the names she named their children. Enough of the subject for now. Hope this helps. Blessings.
