The consequences of sin are shame, guilt, and fear. We are all very familiar with these. As man and woman realized that they were naked and ashamed they tried to cover up their shame. We, also will feel guilty and ashamed after having sinned. We refuse to accept responsibility for our wrong-doing and often blame others for our sins. But God sees everything. Only God can ultimately remove our guilt and shame and save us from this dishonor. Notice, how God covered Adam and Eve’s shame with the skin of an animal which means he had to shed the innocent blood of this animal, most likely a lamb.
