THE FIRST BLOOD | Genesis 3:21 | The Blood of Jesus Christ | Lesson 2
Before there was a Passover lamb, before there was a tabernacle, before there was a priesthood, before there was Calvary, there was blood shed in the Garden of Eden.
In this powerful lesson, we examine Genesis 3:21 and discover why God rejected Adam and Eve’s fig leaves and replaced them with coats of skins. The first bloodshed in the Bible establishes a truth that echoes from Genesis to Revelation:
Guilty sinners cannot cover themselves.
God must provide the covering.
That covering requires death.
This lesson traces the scarlet thread of redemption from Eden to Calvary and reveals how the first blood sacrifice points directly to the Lord Jesus Christ and His shed blood.
Topics Covered:
• Why sin brought death into the world
• The failure of fig leaf religion
• The first picture of substitutionary atonement
• Why works can never save
• The first promise of the coming Redeemer
• The connection between Genesis 3 and Calvary
• Why salvation is by God’s provision, not man’s effort
• The blood that runs through the entire Bible

The Gospel:
Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures. Salvation is not found in religion, baptism, church membership, good works, or self-improvement. Salvation is received by faith in the shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:25 says God hath set forth Jesus Christ “to be a propitiation through faith in his blood.”
If you have never trusted Christ alone, today is the day to stop sewing fig leaves and receive the covering God has provided.
