Genesis 3

RedemptionGen 3:20Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

Genesis 3

RedemptionGen 3:21The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.

Genesis 3

Redemption● God made skins to cover A & E● Animal(s) had to be slain● Origin of sacrifice● Bloody sacrifice● The way back to God● Pictured ultimate sacrifice

Four Great Lessons● Man must have adequate covering to

approach God● Fig leaves are unacceptable; they are

man made● God must provide the covering● Only obtained through Christ

Genesis 3

Sufficient Covering● Cannot come to God via works● Must come Just As I Am: a sinner● Only Christ's atoning death covers● Man must have substitute between

himself and God's wrath

Genesis 3

Sufficient CoveringThe hardest thing in the world is for

man to take his rightful position before God ... Just As I Am, without one plea ...
