CHARACTER STUDY ~ ADAM
The name Adam is a Hebrew name meaning "son of the red earth". He was the first to be created by God from the dust of the earth and was given the right to have dominion over every other creature. He was the one that named all the animals the Lord God had created and was the first to be given instruction. He was without a helpmate until the Lord put him to sleep and took off his rib and enclosed it with his skin to form his suitable companion whom he named Eve.
Some characteristics of Adam:
*He was not born but created
*He was good at his work; he single-handedly named all the animals
*He couldn't communicate well the command to Even that's why she was deceived.

*He was quick to accuse God and his every companion of his sin
*For his sin, the earth was cursed
*He was the father of Cain, Abel, Seth and other children
