In the book of Proverbs 9:10, the Word says: " Fear of the LORD is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgement. (NLT). God had created Adam and Eve in His own image. They were for His glory. They belonged to Him. He loved them. He had given them anything they could ever need. Out of love, He had warned them of the consequences of disobedience. In Gen.3:9 God is calling Adam wanting to know where they were. Because they didn't come to talk with God and were no longer interested to seek Him, He called out to seek them. God was giving them an opportunity to agree with Him that they were wrong in believing satan. Even now He calls out of love, through what we see, through the word, etc. The conversation in Gen. 3:10-11 was aimed at helping Adam and Eve repent. In Gen.3:12,13 we see that instead of repenting, they started the blame game. In v.14, God curses the serpent. In v.15, God promises a deliverer. In v.16-19,
curses/punishes Adam and Eve. They were chased out of the garden of eden. God Killed an animal and covered their nakedness. This was to symbolize the blood of the Saviour that would wash our sins and cover our guilt.
