Charles E. Whisnant, Outline from March 10 2010.

2. The first gospel.

4. If you say you believe God, you have to say you no longer believe Satan.

5. Adam was saying, I need a deliverer, I need a rescuer, I need someone to come and crush the serpent’s head, and I need someone to come and rescue me from the tempter.

6. Repentance involved for Adam a dramatic change. His attitude toward Satan changed as much as his attitude toward God.

10. Behind atonement is grace. Grace comes in because God initiates the covering; God initiates the satisfaction. God initiates the atonement. God acts in grace toward the sinner. Here is God’s grace expressed toward this unworthy couple, who deserved death and deserved hell. And the Lord God.” Vs 21

11. Jehovah Elohim. Not just Elohim, the creator’s name but Jehovah, the Lord of grace.

12. Moses is deliberately presenting God in the Hebrew as Yahweh, the one who is gracious and merciful

13. Back in 2:25 they were naked and not ashamed.

14. In Ch.3 after they sin in vs. 7 they were ashamed. They felt guilt and covered themselves.

15. And God here made a more permanent and modest covering of animal skins.

16. God Himself who made the garments of skin.

17. First time death occurs in history.

18. God slays the animal, takes the skins and uses it to cover Adam and Eve.

20. God covering the naked sinner with a garment of righteousness, with the garment of salvation through the substitutionary sacrifice of an innocent victim.

21. Who was the innocent victim? Christ, who died as the lamb slain from before the foundation of the word, and by His death a garment is procured to cover the sinner.
