Who Was Adam? The First Man & the Fall of Humanity | People of the Bible

The First Man. The First Sin. The First Promise of Hope. Who was Adam, and why does his story matter to every person who has ever lived? In the first episode of our People of the Bible Explained series, Adam and Tara explore the life of the first man created by God. Discover the historical setting of Genesis, what it means to be created in the image of God, the purpose of the Garden of Eden, the fall of humanity, and why Adam's story is the foundation of the entire biblical narrative. More than just a biography, this episode reveals how Adam's life points directly to Jesus Christ—the "last Adam"—who came to accomplish what the first Adam could not. Whether you're new to the Bible or have been studying Scripture for years, this episode will help you better understand God's plan of creation, humanity, sin, redemption, and His incredible grace. In this episode you'll learn: • Who Adam was and why God created him • What it means to be made in the image of God • The historical and cultural context of Genesis 1–3 • Why the Garden of Eden is so important to the biblical story • The temptation, the Fall, and the entrance of sin into the world • The consequences of Adam's disobedience • How Adam points forward to Jesus Christ • Three practical lessons every Christian can apply today • A fascinating "Digging Deeper" look at Genesis 3:15—the first promise of the Gospel Key Scriptures: Genesis 1–3 Romans 5:12–21 1 Corinthians 15:21–22, 45–49 If this study encouraged you, consider subscribing and following the entire People of the Bible Explained series as we journey through the lives of the men and women God used throughout Scripture.
