Women in the Bible-What Can We Learn From Them?

 Eve

Who was Eve? She was the very first woman and is the first woman mentioned in the Bible.

What did she do?  Even disobeyed a clear command from God.  Like her husband, Adam, Eve was created as a perfect human with free will and the ability to cultivate godly qualities, such as love and wisdom. (Genesis 1:27)  Even knew that Godd had told Adam that if they ate from a certain tree, they would die. However, she was deceived into believing that she would not die. In fact, she was led to believe that she would be better off if she disobeyed God. So she ate from the fruit and later induced her husband to eat it as well. GENESIS 3:1-6; 1 TIMOTHY 2:14.

What  can we learn from Eve? Eve is a warning example of the danger of dwelling on wrong desires. Against God's clear command, she developed an overpowering longing to take  what did not belong to her. - GENESIS 3:6;  1 JOHN 2:16.
