Eve's Issues | Part 2

Eve’s Guilt Trip

This second installment of the Eve Series won’t be as extensive as the first. Rather, it will make you think and God-willing encourage you!

As a female, has anybody tried to make you feel guilty for Eve’s actions in the Garden of Eden? Has a male, specifically, tried to use her actions to guilt trip you? This happens to me all of the time as a young woman of God. And to be 100% honest, I don’t always know what to say.

What I do know is that it took two to commit the sin. Yes, Eve initiated and gave it to Adam, but did Adam, as the “leader”, have to listen to her? To me, personally, I think it was both Adam and Eve’s fault. So how does this affect us ladies in 2014?

Eve's Issues | Part 1

As women in Christ, we often get referred to Eve, more than often with a negative affiliation. I’ve decided to go deeper into this subject matter during my study of the Word. I have learned plenty from Eve and her decisions, and I’d love to share them with you, in hopes that you are encouraged by it! 

In the book of Genesis, we see the encounter of Eve and the serpent in the Garden of Eden; the very encounter that brought sin into the world. The prominent issue in this encounter was Eve falling for Satan’s lies. She allowed his foolishness to defect her obedience to God. There are a few additional issues that Eve struggled with during this encounter that lead to sin, issues that we can certainly learn from.
