When Adam and Eve sinned "they came to the knowledge of good and evil" Gen. 2:9. They were ashamed and "hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God" Gen 3:8. Today, so many are like those in Jeremiah's day. "Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
Nay, there were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush" Neh.
8:12. If you are a Christian, thank God for your conscience and the conviction of the Holy Spirit. "God loves you as you are but He loves you too much to let you stay as you are."
What did they do about it? "And the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons" Gen 3:7. They tried to cover their sin and shame by the works of their own hands. The world tries to cover their sin and get to heaven by the works of their hands, but it wont do.
"Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins and clothed them" Gen 3:21. NOW, THINK WITH ME. The first death was of an animal. What animal? I think a lamb. I think God told them "the plan of salvation", the shedding of blood and the covering of the skins, the picture of being clothed in His righteousness. Remember God talked extensively with Adam and Eve and no doubt Cain and Abel.
This is amazing. "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain" Heb. 11:4.. Where did Abel get this faith? How did he know what to offer. THINK, he did not think this up all by himself. He did not outsmart Cain. "So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God" Rom 10:17. I believe he heard "the word of God" verbally from God Himself. God explained why He killed a lamb to cover his Mother and Dad, Adam and Eve. Cain also heard it but Cain like the world today, ignored what God had told them and Cain brought the works of his hands!. Abel heard God believed God and obeyed God. We must too. MORE to come.
