Bible Commentary

Genesis 3:21

God covered their shame with clothes He made Himself. This is a picture of grace — even in judgment, God provides. An animal gave its life so they could be covered, foreshadowing how Jesus would one day die to cover our sin.

Memory phrase: God covers our shame with His love.

Talk about it: Why is it special that GOD made the clothes for Adam and Eve, not them?

Prayer: God, thank You for covering my shame and taking care of me — just like You did for Adam and Eve.
