Before sin, Adam and Eve were "naked and unashamed." After sin, their immediate reaction was fear of exposure. They didn't run to God; they ran to bushes. They didn't ask for help; they made coverings. We are still doing this. We may not wear actual leaves, but we stitch together elaborate psychological defenses to ensure that no one—not our spouse, not our friends, and certainly not God—sees our vulnerability. We hide because we believe a lie: If they really saw me, they wouldn't love me.
