SIN IN GOD'S WORLD

In Genesis chapter 2 God finishes creating the world and admits that everything that He created was good or acceptable. His last creation, the image that was closest to the image of God himself, was man and woman. They stood before God naked without anything between them and God. They were clean and without sin. But in chapter 3 both the man and woman were tempted by Satan and succumbed to disobeying God’s commands. Notice in verse 7 that they both realized that there was now something between them and God. They hid from His sight and clothed themselves with fig leaves. That was the beginning of sin in this world. That led to God’s judgment on both Adam and Eve and in removing them from the Garden of Eden. Nothing would ever be the same (at least until His future coming).
Sacrifices would be made throughout the Old Testament to represent the blood sacrifice that would come when God sent His son to the earth. The only real way to cover the sin in man's heart is through the cross. God would provide the way.
