The creation of Adam and Eve is a foundational biblical narrative that depicts God's intentional and personal role in forming humanity. According to Genesis, God first created Adam from the dust of the earth and breathed life into him, making him a living being. He placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, a paradise filled with lush vegetation and flowing rivers. To provide companionship, God created Eve from Adam’s rib while he was in a deep sleep, signifying their deep connection and unity. Adam recognized her as part of himself, calling her "bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh." Together, they were given dominion over the earth and commanded to be fruitful and multiply. Living in innocence and harmony, they were created in God's image, meant to reflect His love and stewardship over creation. Their story sets the stage for humanity’s relationship with God and one another.
