The Good News message that the Cosmic King, Jesus Christ, has come to Earth and through His DEATH and RESURRECTION is making all things new.
The bad news is that humans chose to love themselves supremely which led to nakedness and shame; The good news is that God chose to love unloving humans, unconditionally, so that they may be clothed and saved.
SIN = LOVING ANYTHING or ANYONE more than GOD!
(1) Human Nakedness
“…they realized they were naked;”

3) God’s Solution to Human Nakedness/Shame
“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
Jesus, in the ultimate act of LOVE for GOD, ate the holistic curse of shame that was meant for us sinners, so that we might accept the abundant life we were created for with God as His LOVING children.
