12. 1.Robe of Innocence Naked But Not Ashamed {198} “The sinless pair wore no artificial garments; they were clothed with a covering of light and glory, such as the angels wear. So long as they lived in obedience to God, this robe of light continued to enshroud them.” Patriarchs and Prophets 45

14. The Test {200}

15. A simple test was given to Adam and Eve, to see whether they would—in their freedom— obey the Lord. It was, in a sense, a time of probation for these free creatures. Freedom means just that, freedom, and they had to prove that they would do the right thing with the freedom given them. 2. Fig Leaves The Test {200}

16. Adam and Eve failed their test. Their eyes were opened, just as Satan said they would be. Only now they were seeing the world and reality differently from how they ever had before. Their fall from innocence, their transgression, and their new relationship to God and to each other are all expressed in the theme of their realization that they are naked. 2. Fig Leaves A New Set of Clothes {202}

17. Considering the possibilities for coverings, they must have decided that the fig leaves were the best. Thus, here we have the first lesson in salvation by works: humans attempting to solve the problem of sin by their own works and deeds. 2. Fig Leaves A New Set of Clothes {202}

19. The Gospel Message Prefigured {204}

20. 3. Animal Skins The Gospel Message Prefigured {204} Third, “[He] clothed them.” It was the Lord who placed the animal skins on Adam and Eve. It was His act, it was what He did for them that covered the shame of their nakedness. Right from the start, the Lord revealed the plan of salvation. However horrible Adam’s and Eve’s sin, it wasn’t greater than God’s grace to save them from it.
