God pursues guilty sinners …
… and He does so with grace in His eyes.

This is the shocking thing that we see unfold in Genesis 3 as our first parents break relationship with God and feel deep shame that leads them to take cover from one another and to hide from God. Into this terrible situation, God comes to the Garden, making Himself known, calling out their sinful rebellion, and then, surprisingly, makes a new covenant (He restores their relationship) and provides clothing to cover their shame. 

Thus, what we learn about God from this chapter is foundational for us to understand the God of the Bible.

He is not a God who stays in the heavens and demands that we seek Him out or prove how worthy we are by our moral or religiously motivated works. 
No, He comes to us when we would not and could not pursue Him. 

He enters into this broken world in order to redeem and restore.

Listen along to this sermon as we wrap up our Genesis 1-3 study and see how the God Who Pursues Adam and Eve is the same God who pursues you and I and who is at work pursuing others in the world around us 🙌🏿
