What was Eve given to Adam to be?
Scripture teaches Eve was given to Adam to be his complement and became part of him. This same concept of complement is applied to the church, which is the body and fullness of Christ the head, as explained in Ephesians.
Les explains that the word fullness in the Greek also means complement. He points back to Genesis where Eve was given to Adam to be his complement and became part of him. This illustrates the church as the complement of the head, Christ, and why Paul brings in the physical marriage relationship between husband and wife as a beautiful picture of Christ and the church which is His body. Les notes that Peter does not bring out this truth about the body of Christ at all.
