From Fall to Redemption: The Enduring Legacy of Adam and Eve

Assuming that Adam and Eve were indeed real people, the biblical events in this interpretation become the key to understanding the origins of human nature, moral choices, and the fate of all humanity. The fact of their existence would lend historical reality to the entire narrative of creation, the Fall, and subsequent redemption. In this depiction, the initial act of creation—where Eve emerged from Adam’s rib and a single source of humanity was established—serves as the foundation for the idea that all humans originate from one source, “from Adam” ( link txt).

The very event of the Fall, when primordial innocence was lost, holds immense significance. The text shows that after tasting the forbidden fruit, the first people became aware of their nakedness and vulnerability. As it is stated:
"Having eaten the fruits from the tree, the consumption of which was forbidden, the forefathers realized their disobedience, and when God asked Adam where he was, he hid because of his nakedness.

God asked: who told you that you were naked?

This event symbolizes the beginning of human experience, in which the awareness of sin and responsibility becomes the central moment. The loss of innocence brought about a fundamental change in the state of being, creating the necessity for redemption and a return to divine grace. In this developmental line, the theme of salvation is also evident:
"The Holy Trinity guides the course of history, and, despite the fall of Adam and Eve, God acts through this event for the salvation of mankind. Christ became the second Adam, thereby redeeming the sins of the first Adam and restoring the lost balance." ( link txt).

Thus, if Adam and Eve are considered historical figures, the real events in the Garden of Eden not only describe the beginning of human trials—awareness of nakedness, guilt, and exile from paradise—but also lay the foundation for understanding the meaning of redemption and salvation. The reality of these events transforms the creation story into a pivotal narrative about how original sin altered the human condition, opening the way for subsequent divine intervention aimed at restoring harmony between God and humanity.

"After this, He took one of his ribs, filled it, and Eve arose—so that everything would originate from one source, from Adam, and not from two (Adam and Eve). Then God placed them in paradise and gave them the law, that is, the commandment permitting them to eat the fruits of all the trees in paradise except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Devil envied them for such honor, but approached not Adam—who was more steadfast—but came to Eve and gave her the most disastrous of advices." (source: link txt)
