Aprons of Fig Leaves and Coats of Skins Messages of Christ 3:59 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFosA8e1HcM After Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit, they made aprons of fig leaves to hide their nakedness and hid from the Lord because of the shame they felt for disobeying Him (see Genesis 3:6-8). Of course the Lord knows all things, so when He called to them asking why they hid, He already knew the answer. The Lord was simply allowing them to acknowledge their mistakes, helping them to begin the process of repentance. Because of their transgression, Adam and Eve could no longer dwell in the presence of God. Adam and Eve had attempted to cover themselves with fig leaves because of their shame, but the Lord had a better way. Thus, before sending His children out into the lone and dreary world, the Lord first made "coats of skins, and clothed them," (Genesis 3:21) giving them comfort, warmth, and helping to cover the shame they felt.
