Will We See Adam and Eve in Heaven?

Adam and Eve. These were the first two people God created and, as you know, he gave them one command about a tree and some fruit that unfortunately they could not keep. When Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden, we know they walked with God. After their sin, God kicked them out of the garden. As you read through the Bible, there is not much mentioned about Adam once you get past Genesis 5.

For the two people who introduced sin into the world by their disobedience, what is their eternal fate? Will we see Adam and Eve in heaven?

1. Adam and Eve Had a Relationship with God That We Have Never Had

Adam and Eve, for however long they were in the garden, enjoyed perfect fellowship with the Lord. They experienced him in a manner in which we never have. You may have had wonderful encounters in God’s presence, but you have never experienced God in a condition of perfection where you walked with him in a sinless state. Adam and Eve had this type of relationship with God when they were in the garden.It is safe to make the assumption they never forgot that experience and they longed to return to it. For this reason, I believe it is reasonable to speculate they remained true to their allegiance to God once they were out of the garden, because they desired to get back there.

2. Adam and Eve Maintained Their Relationship after They Left the GardenEvery sign from Genesis speaks to Adam and Eve maintaining their relationship with God after the garden. When Eve gave birth to their first son, she acknowledged God in it.“Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, ‘With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man’” (Genesis 4:1).3. Adam Passed on a Tradition of Faith to His ChildrenThe first two children Adam and Eve had were Cain and Abel. When you read about them in Genesis 4, it is safe to make an assertion that Adam and Eve passed on their belief in God to their children.“Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering — fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast” (Genesis 4:2-5).From this passage, you see Cain and Abel deciding to bring an offering to the Lord. They had to learn this from somewhere, and it is logical to assume their parents taught them to do this.

“Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, ‘God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.’ Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord” (Genesis 4:25-26).

When Adam was 130 years old, Seth was born. The Bible tells us in Genesis 5 that Adam lived 800 years after Seth was born. It was during this period of 800 years that people began to call on the name of the Lord.

By comparison, consider his son Cain. In Genesis 4, after bringing their offerings, God accepts Abel’s offering but rejects Cain’s offering. Cain was angry over this and eventually ended up killing his brother. However, there is something interesting God told Cain.

By what God told Cain, we can deduce that Cain knew what the right thing to do was and if he did it, God would accept him. Yet we know Cain gave into his sin and did not do the right thing. From this inference, we can also assume that Adam and Eve knew what the right thing to do was. When you search the Scriptures after the garden, there is no mention of Adam or Eve doing the wrong thing or of God rejecting them after they left the garden.

all that happened after the garden, I believe you can conclude that we will see Adam and Eve in heaven.

Since Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, we can look for Adam and Eve together.
