Her Ministry: Helpmate to her husband, Adam. First mother to humankind (Genesis 2:18 & 3:20).

Her Home Life: Splendid gardener, roamed throughout nature with her husband Adam (Genesis 2:8 & 3:8).

Her Status: First Woman created by the Hand of God (Genesis 2:21 & 22).

Her Purpose: To support her husband, nothing found to be suitable for Adam, the Lord created her especially for him (Genesis 2:21,22).

Her Character Traits: Vulnerable, Easily swayed, Temptuous, Leading (Genesis 3:6).

Her Physical Attributes: Created in the image of God, she must have been perfectly proportioned, beautiful, flawless (Genesis 1:27; 2:7,21-25).

Meaning of her name: Hebrew #2332, Life-giver: Chavvah (or Eve), the first woman: Eve. (Strong's Concordance).

What a privilege to hold such a position, yet with that position came responsibility that Eve herself did not handle too well. Let's read and familiarize ourselves with the setting in which Eve was tempted and by whom she was tempted in Genesis Chapter 3.

Reference: Genesis 3:20, 4:1; 2 Corinthians 11:3; 1 Timothy 2:13

Now the serpent was more subtile than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where are thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou was naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Genesis 3:1-13

"And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living."
