NKJV 365 / The Blood, the Covering, THE BLOOD

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 57 of 365 The Blood, the Covering, THE BLOOD. The covenant love of God required that innocent animals be sacrificed to provide garments of skin as a covering for Adam and Eve. This early foreshadowing of substitutionary atonement points toward the necessity of judgment upon the innocent to provide a covering for the guilty. Adam and Eve made a vain attempt to cover themselves with their own efforts by sewing together fig leaves. However, God's order provided covering by means of a sacrifice. Under the New Covenant, we are required to be clothed with Christ rather than with our good works (Gal. 3:27). Taken from New Spirit-Filled Life Bible Genesis 3:21 NASB 21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
