The first man.

Adam was created in the image and likeness of God (Gen 1:26, 27) and given dominion over the rest of the creation. (Gen 1:28). God formed him from dust from the ground, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living being (Gen 2:7).

God placed him in the Garden of Eden, a perfect environment, and gave him a job to do - cultivating and tending the garden (Gen 2:15).

God took one of Adam's ribs and used it to create a wife for Adam to be a helper suitable for him (Gen 2:18-23). Adam called his wife Eve (Gen 3:20).

Adam sinned by disobeying God's command not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen 3:6). The result of Adam's sin was that the ground was cursed and work became toil (Gen 3:17), death entered into the world (Gen 3:19), and Adam was driven out of Eden (Gen 3:22-24).

Adam's sin had consequences for all mankind. We are all born sinful, and we all die. Adam is used as a picture (type) of Jesus Christ - in the same way that Adam's one act of sin resulted in death for all mankind, so Jesus Christ's one offering of Himself as a perfect sacrifice to God results in eternal life for all of mankind who will accept it (Rom 5:12-21). In the same way that we all share in physical death through our relationship to Adam, Christians will share in Christ's resurrection through their relationship to Him (1 Cor 15:19-24).

Adam and Eve had children: Cain (Gen 4:1), Abel (Gen 4:2), Seth (Gen 5:3), and other sons and daughters (Gen 5:4).

Adam was nine hundred and thirty years old when he died (Gen 5:5).
