God asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat fruit from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?”
The man answered, “I heard you walking in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”
The man said, “You gave this woman to me and she gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate it.”
Then the Lord said, “What have you done? Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.
I have kept quiet while you did these things, so you thought I was just like you. But I will scold you and accuse you to your face.
because no one can be made right with God by following the law. The law only shows us our sin.
