Man’s Reaction To Sin

This sermon examines the immediate human response to the Fall as recorded in Genesis 3, focusing on the progression of hiding from God. The central message argues that man's first instinct is to cover his sin with self-righteousness, symbolized by the fig leaves, rather than seeking divine grace. The text highlights how conscience, instead of leading to repentance, often drives individuals to flee from God's presence due to fear and shame. Furthermore, the analysis explores how humans attempt to shift blame onto others, such as Adam blaming Eve and Eve blaming the serpent, rather than owning their personal guilt. The tone is convicting and instructional, urging the audience to recognize their own sinful nature and the futility of religious works, pointing instead to the necessity of genuine confession and reliance on Christ's atonement.
