What if we don’t accept the idea that we each are sinners who need God in our life? Can we claim to be a Christian without taking the step of admitting that we are a sinner? The answer is “No”. This verse tells us that we must face the consequences of sin as death; separation from God physically, spiritually, and eternally. We stand before God covered with a “fig leaf” that keeps us from being close to God to bring our life back into the protection of His care, we need to admit that we are sinners so that we can enjoy life in the Garden of Eden like Adam and Eve initially experienced closeness with God. When we acknowledge our sinful nature we are given the gift of eternal life. A life with God for all time.
