“How did you know you were naked?” God asked. “Did you eat any fruit from that tree in the middle of the garden?”
The man answered, “I was naked, and when I heard you walking through the garden, I was frightened and hid!”
“It was the woman you put here with me,” the man said. “She gave me some of the fruit, and I ate it.”
Then the LORD said: Why have you done this terrible thing? You killed your own brother, and his blood flowed on to the ground. Now his blood is calling out for me to punish you.
When you did all this, I didn't say a word, and you thought, “God is just like us!” But now I will accuse you.
God doesn't accept people simply because they obey the Law. No, indeed! All the Law does is to point out our sin.
