A sacrifice had to be made – a blood sacrifice. Death was experienced for the first time in the garden of Eden. The blood of an innocent had to be spilled to atone for the sin of man. “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them”Gen.3:21.
Where do you think these skins came from? Do you think they appeared out of thin air?
No! An innocent animal had to be sacrificed so that man can be cleaned.
Who do you think had to kill this animal? God? No. The sinner Adam himself.
“let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD:...” Lev.1:3-5.

MAN WAS LOST. Or so it seemed.
