Adam: The First Man and the Beginning of Our Story

Have you ever considered how much of your story began with one man?

Before there was sin…
Before there was shame…
Before there was striving…

There was Adam.

In our first Genesis character study, we step into the garden and take a closer look at the life of the first man created by God. Adam’s story may seem familiar, even simple at first glance — but when we slow down and truly walk through it, we discover that his life carries enormous weight for all of humanity.

If we want to understand redemption, we must begin at the beginning.

Why Study Adam?

Adam was created directly by God from the dust of the ground and given life by the breath of God (Genesis 2:7). He walked in perfect fellowship with the Lord. He was given responsibility, authority, meaningful work, and a covenant command.

And then came a choice.

Adam’s decision in the garden did not just affect his own life — it altered the course of history. Through him, sin entered the world. Through him, death followed. His story explains why the world feels broken and why we so deeply need a Savior.

But Adam’s life also points forward — to what Scripture calls the “second Adam,” Jesus Christ.

This is not just a historical study.
It is a foundation study.

What This Lesson Covers

In this in-depth Genesis Bible study for women, we explore:

• What it meant to be formed from dust and filled with God’s breath

• What daily life in the Garden of Eden may have felt like

• The weight of responsibility Adam carried

• The moment everything changed

• What leaving the garden must have been like

• The theological significance of the first and second Adam

• How Adam’s story still impacts our lives today

We walk through Scripture thoughtfully, reflectively, and with encouragement for women who want to grow in discernment and confidence in God’s Word.

If you’ve ever wondered why the gospel begins in Genesis — this lesson will help you see it clearly.

Let’s Begin at the Beginning

Genesis lays the groundwork for everything that follows in Scripture. Adam’s life is not just about failure — it is about foundation. It is about responsibility, relationship, consequence, and the promise of redemption.

Before we can fully grasp grace, we must understand the garden.

I invite you to start this Genesis Bible study for women with Episode 1 and walk through it slowly.

We are not rushing.

We are building roots.
