This article is going to be about Adam & Eve, I promise. However, I want to start by talking about God for a bit. Because, while the people in the Bible may seem like they are the main characters or heroes of the stories in the Bible; in reality, they are not the main character. God is the Main Character of the Bible. God is the Hero of every story in scripture. Meanwhile, the people, whom we are reading stories about, are there to illustrate different aspects of our God and His relationship with His people. This is true with the story of Adam & Eve as well. So, let’s go on a brief journey to consider some passages about God, then we will come back to talk about Adam & Eve.

What is so significant about this story and what lessons is it intended to teach us?
