Gen 3:21 The LORD God fashioned garments from animal skins for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
(ISV)
Praise God. His Love, His mercy, endures forever.
From the beginning, at our first sin,
When we were disobedient, and rebelled,
The Way of salvation was shown.1)Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(KJV)
The Way to live in Jesus given.2)Rom 13:14 Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and do not obey your flesh and its desires.
(ISV)
The first sacrifice was made, and blood was shed, to cover our iniquity.
And save us from death.3)Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in union with the Messiah Jesus our Lord.
(ISV)
We sometimes don’t realize, that the first death in this world was a sacrifice to cover our first sin,
and points to the real first sacrifice and our salvation, the Lamb Slain From The Foundation Of The World, Jesus.
Abel understood, and God favored him for that.4)Gen 4:4 while Abel offered the best parts of some of the firstborn from his flock. The LORD looked favorably upon Abel and his offering,
Gen 4:5 but he did not look favorably upon Cain and his offering. When Cain became very upset and depressed,
Gen 4:6 the LORD asked Cain, “Why are you so upset? Why are you depressed?
Gen 4:7 If you do what is appropriate, you’ll be accepted, won’t you? But if you don’t do what is appropriate, sin is crouching near your doorway, turning toward you. However, you must take dominion over it.”
(ISV)
God instituted blood sacrifice, because it was always his intention to redeem us by the blood of Jesus shed at the cross.
And through that sacrifice, provide an everlasting covering for our sins.
He wraps us in salvation5)Isa 61:10 “I will heartily rejoice in the LORD, my soul will delight in my God; for he has wrapped me in garments of salvation; he has arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, just like a bridegroom, like a priest with a garland, and like a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
(ISV), in Jesus.
Abba Daddy covers us with the best thing he has, like all good fathers.6)Luk 15:22 But the father told his servants, ‘Hurry! Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
(ISV)
