Fig Leaves or Faith

Fig Leaves or Faith

Adam and Eve tried to cover their shame before God by hiding behind fig leaves. But God provided garments of skin to cover their shame through the death of an animal. This pictured the real removal of shame by the only righteous One, the Lord Jesus Christ, and his death on the cross to atone for the sin of his people. His people would receive their righteous robes by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Listen as Mr. Ben Bessett preaches on Genesis 3:7, 21 on the folly of fig leaves and salvation by faith alone.

“And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.”
