1. Satan’s great deception was to give man a false ability to discern between good and evil. Thus, when
man sinned, he realized he was naked—something that had not been evident to him before. So, Adam
and Eve sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves, but fig leaves dry quickly. This represents
human righteousness, which is fleeting and incapable of covering sin and shame. Our own
righteousness can never justify us before God (Genesis 3:7; Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:9-10, 20).
2. The problem of sin cannot be solved with fig leaves. The only solution is blood. To remedy the
situation, God provided garments of skin for Adam and Eve, which required the shedding of animal
blood. This covering symbolizes that only God’s righteousness can remove our transgression. Sin is
resolved only by redemption through blood (Hebrews 9:22; Genesis 3:21).
3. Man lived in the Garden of Eden, enjoying God’s presence, for he had His word and heard His voice.
Where God’s voice is, there is His presence. Therefore, the garden was a place of pleasure and joy.
The Lord’s presence always brings complete joy and satisfaction (Genesis 3:8-13; John 3:19-21;
Ephesians 5:11).
4. “Let us learn like Peter to always be filled with the Holy Spirit so that we may have the boldness to
preach in the name of Jesus […] let us send the immersion pamphlet to our contacts and friends […]
daily, because it is the living word! This living word brings the power of the Holy Spirit to save people”
(Acts 4:8-12) (Daily Food, book 5, week 2, Friday, p. 33).
