# Adam # ## Facts: ## Adam was the first person whom God created. He and his wife Eve were made in the image of God. * God formed Adam from dirt and breathed life into him. * Adam's name sounds similar to the Hebrew word for "red dirt" or "ground." * The name "Adam" is the same as the Old Testament word for "mankind" or "human being." * All people are descendants of Adam and Eve. * Adam and Eve disobeyed God. This separated them from God and caused sin and death to come into the world.
