The account of Adam and Eve is not merely the story of the first man and woman; it is the foundation of the Bible’s understanding of human nature, sin, and redemption. In Adam we see humanity as God created it, and in the Fall we see the origin of the broken condition that now marks the whole human race. Scripture teaches that from that moment mankind bears the image of fallen Adam, making the need for restoration through Christ essential. To understand the message of the Gospel, we must first understand what truly happened in the beginning.
