Hiding & Blaming

After Adam & Eve's desires met the Serpent's temptation and sin was birthed, Yahweh God came calling and walking in the wind of the day. Scripture's first Theophany/Christophany/Pneumophany is a reminder that God has been pursuing us from the beginning.

But the man and woman hide themselves from the Lord, and we see the first sense in which sin separated us from God. When He called out to them, Adam blamed the woman and God Himself; while Eve blamed the serpent.

The story of Scripture from the beginning was not one of us confessing our sin and pursuing God, but rather hiding from Him and blaming anyone and everyone. Yet He is such a good Father that He has pursued His children from our very first sin.
