Daily Devotion: Genesis 3:11-12

Genesis 3:11-12    "And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? (12) And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."

God asked Adam several questions. Where are you? Who told you? Have you eaten of the tree?  It seems the reason for the questions was to bring Adam to a place of confession and ultimately repentance. Yes, I do believe Adam repented after they were cast out of the Garden of Eden. He and Eve taught their sons to worship through sacrifices unto the Lord.

Adam had the opportunity to take responsibility for his actions. But instead, he shifted the blame to Eve. We could say that he ultimately admitted to his sin. After trying to blame Eve, Adam did say, "I did eat."

It may seem that confessing  unto God is a very difficult thing to do. Yet, He has said there is forgiveness to be experienced.  "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) God is indeed marvelous in all His ways.
