Eve, Mother of All the Living

I want you to see that Adam gave his wife the name Eve because He believed in the promise of eternal life which had been given to them in relation to the promised Seed who would be born of the woman. Eve's name signifies Life, not simply because she was the mother of all mankind, but it should be even more apparent that it was given to her by Adam because He believed that His woman was going to be the mother of Christ and of all His living seed, who are the seed of the her the woman. And so she was, even though it would be the virgin Mary, one of her descendants through whom this Promised Seed should finally come. Nevertheless, Adam saw this by faith, and he rejoiced to think of Christ coming to do His good work of redemption. He gave this new name to her because he and Eve had come to know the reality that faith in the promise of Christ was what would bring them eternal life and salvation.
