God asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat fruit from the tree I commanded you not to eat from?”
He answered, “I heard you in the garden. I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”
The man answered, “That woman, the one you gave me, gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
The Lord asked, “What have you done? Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.
When you did these things, I remained silent. ⌞That⌟ made you think I was like you. I will argue my point with you and lay it all out for you to see.
Not one person can have God’s approval by any effort to follow the laws in the Scriptures. These laws show what sin is.
