Even After The Fall, God Still Covered Them
This is the best part of Genesis 3.
Right in the middle of judgment, God drops verse 15: "I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. He will crush your head, and you will strike him in the heel."
Head crush = fatal. Heel strike = painful, but not fatal. That's the first prophecy of Jesus. The serpent would hurt Him, but Jesus would destroy him.
Verse 20: Adam names his wife Eve, because she was to become the mother of everyone living. Even after death entered the world, God still spoke life.
Verse 21: "Jehovah God made long garments from skins for Adam and for his wife, to clothe them." Fig leaves were their fix. God's garments were His fix. It cost a life. That's the first picture of sacrifice.
Verse 23-24: They are expelled, cherubs and a flaming sword guard the tree of life. Not to be cruel, but to protect them from living forever in a broken state.
Lesson: God judges sin, but He never abandons the sinner. He promises, He provides, He covers.
WARDEN V 3 Take: Protect, Assist, Care. God protected the promise, assisted them in failure, and cared enough to clothe them. That's our mission.
