There are many times that we do something wrong or make some nasty remarks.
When asked to tell the truth, we even lie. Most likely we would remember how we felt after we have sinned.
Sin makes us feel ashamed. We would want to hide. Sin also makes us feel afraid. We are afraid of what will happen when people find out what we had done wrong. This is what Adam and Eve did. They were afraid the Lord would punish them. We often blame others when we commit sin.
Sin separates us from God. However, God is good, even though He knows they have sinned, He did not destroy them, instead forgave them by calling them out ‘Where are you’? (Gen 3:9) and took time to speak to them. Sin is terrible, however, when we ask God to forgive us, He will forgive us!
