Genesis 3: 9-10
Then the Lord God called Adam and said to him, “Where are
you?” So he said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I
was naked; and I hid myself.”
Perhaps here we have the heart of the gospel emanating from
the unconditional love of God to us in those few words, "Where are you?". Our wonderful, all knowing, all seeing
Father knew every action that Adam and Eve took, He knew that they had
succumbed to the Serpent’s deception and by free choice had tried to be
righteous by their own act. Adam was not trying to be evil when he committed
the ultimate evil of eating from the morality tree. He was actually trying to
do good and avoid evil so that he could be more like God. But he already was like
God.
God knew man had sinned and had fallen into the evil of
self-righteousness, but he did not separate himself from fallen man. Everything
changed when Adam sinned, everything but God. God did not change His
relationship with man because of sin. God loved Adam, He cared for Adam, He was
there in the garden wanting to talk and fellowship with him. God is the same,
Yesterday, Today and Forever.
