Bible Commentary

Genesis 3:8

Before their sin, walking with God was a joy. Now it brought fear. Sin always damages our friendship with God — but God still came to them, showing He had not given up on them.

Memory phrase: They hid from God.

Talk about it: Have you ever hidden from someone because you felt bad? How did it feel?

Prayer: God, help me never want to hide from You. Help me come to You when I am afraid.
