Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

What did it mean to Adam to be naked in the Garden of Eden? When asked why he was hiding from God, he replied, “I was afraid.” Being afraid can imply different things but I look to what God did here in answer to Adam and Eve’s nakedness. He covered their nakedness. Think about that for a second. No matter what Adam felt, no matter how you want to feel about being caught like Adam, God covered it.

There is also the issue that God provided and killed the animal that the coats of skin were made. He did not tell Adam what to do, God provided the cover Himself. Adam had no part in the covering of his sin, shame, vulnerability, or whatever you see it to be. God did it.

Most of us overlook the significant message that we should all agree upon for the simple truth that it is in scripture. God did that while Adam and Eve were still in the Garden of Eden, before casting them out. The simple truth here is that God did this as the sign of His intentions. It is so simple people have over and over again failed to look at the initial act of sacrifice.

God made a sacrifice for man.

Hebrews 10:9-12 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Then sacrificed Himself for us.
