Mother Of All Living - Genesis 3:20

Genesis 3:20 ESV

The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Death entered the Garden through this woman named Eve. So how is it that she is the mother of all living?

It is through her descendants that one would be born that would make life available to all men and women. This one would call Himself the Son of Man, though He was the Son of God, the life and light of the world. 

The will of God allowed for man to choose between good and evil with the full knowledge of good and evil. All things work for the good for those who love the Lord. It is through the things of our journey that we have the opportunity to encounter the Lord. 

We love the Lord through our obedience. This we choose. 

This would enable man to fully realize the image of God for which we were created. This is the image shown to us in the man Jesus Christ.
