The Creation of the First Woman

John MacArthur 30

Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Genesis 2:22–23

Adam was designed to be a father, provider, protector, and leader. Eve was designed to be a mother, comforter, nurturer, and helper.

Adam was designed to be a father, provider, protector, and leader. Eve was designed to be a mother, comforter, nurturer, and helper.




The Creation of the First Woman a Devoctional by John MacArthur

Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Genesis 2:22–23

The unique method of Eve’s creation reminds us of several crucial truths about womanhood in general.

First, it speaks of Eve’s fundamental equality with Adam. They shared the same essential nature. She was in no way an inferior character made merely to serve him, but she was his spiritual counterpart, his intellectual coequal, and in every sense his perfect mate and companion.

Second, the way Eve was created reminds us of the essential unity that is the ideal in every marriage relationship. Jesus referred to Eve’s creation in Matthew 19:4–6 to prove that God’s plan for marriage was established at the very beginning of human history and was based on the principles of monogamy, solidarity, and inviolability.


Third, the circumstances of Eve’s creation illustrate how deep and meaningful the marriage of husband and wife is designed to be. It is not merely a physical union, but a union of heart and soul as well. Eve was Adam’s complement in every sense, designed by God to be the ideal soul-companion for him.

Fourth, Eve’s creation contains some important biblical lessons about the divinely designed role of women. Although Eve was spiritually and intellectually Adam’s peer; although they were both of one essence and therefore equals in their standing before God and in their rank above the other creatures; there was nonetheless a clear distinction in their earthly roles. Adam was the head; Eve was his helper.

Adam was designed to be a father, provider, protector, and leader. Eve was designed to be a mother, comforter, nurturer, and helper.

Where can you better fulfill your role as a man or woman?

Why Cannot I Follow Thee Now?

Oswald Chambers
There are times when you cannot understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings the blank space, see that you do not fil it in, but wait. The blank space may come in order to teach you what sanctification means, or it may come after sanctification to teach you what service means.
Si Él no me hubiera amado con un amor tan profundo como el infierno y tan fuerte como la muerte, se habría apartado de mí hace mucho tiempo.

Jesus did Everything to Save Us

Charles Spurgeon
Pause, my soul, and wonder! You have goings forth in the person of Jesus from the days of eternity. Not only when you were born into the world did Christ love you, but His delights were also with the sons of men before there were any sons of men!
When you love you’re also generous, especially with your time, attention, assistance, and encouragement.

Encouragement Is a Four-Eyed Fish

H. Norman Wright
Every person has pockets of under-developed resources within him or her. Your task is to search for these pockets in your spouse, discover them, and then expand them. At first what you discover may be rough and imperfect.
