Read Genesis 3:21-24
The couple must leave the warm and friendly nest of East. Innocence and eternal bliss was now in the past. The LORD God made garments of clothing from animal skin to provide protection and blessing on the couple. Never able to return to the simple innocence of Eden. The redemption of mankind by God was set in motion. The long road toward the cross began here. The break in fellowship between God and mankind would have a rippled impact on each succeeding generation to come. Fear, frustration, stress, mistrust, rebellion, selfish ambition, and jealousy are just a few of the problems that crept into the human heart since leaving Eden. The first couple would soon bring their personal struggles into family life, agriculture, culture, communities, and industry. Each new shining accomplishment would be mixed with the resulting pain of sinful rebellion. The long necessary road to redemption would be paved with small steps of faith but many obstacles of disobedience.
