For many years I wondered why Jesus had to die for me. I couldn’t understand why God would require blood as a way to remove my sin. I spent a lot of time thinking about blood and I found scripture that said the life is in the blood, but I still couldn’t make a connection to blood and my sin until…..

    God took me on a journey to the first time there was a sacrifice in the Bible. Unbelievably, I had to go all the way back to the Garden of Eden to find it. I had read about the Garden of Eden all of my life, but never saw it until God was ready to reveal this truth to me and open my eyes to understanding.

    You will also find it in the Garden of Eden. You will find that after Adam and Eve sinned their eyes were opened. They realized for the first time they were naked. They even made themselves aprons to try to cover their shame and nakedness, but sadly, because of their disobedience to God, because of their sin, the first death occurred in the Garden of Eden. You see, God took an innocent animal and killed it to provide coats of skins to Adam and Eve to wear (Genesis 3:21). God had made the world’s first fur coat because of sin!
