The first two fruits of sin are fear and shame. Adam and Eve first experienced fear when they heard God walking in the Garden after they disobeyed Him. They were so afraid that they hid themselves. When God asked, "Where are you? Adam and Eve had the choice. to come out of hiding and confess their sin or to remain hidden. They remained hidden.
When they discovered that they were naked, they were ashamed. God once again gave them a chance to come to Him and repent for their disobedience, but instead they blamed each other for causing their disobedience.
I want you to understand that fear and shame are two of the most vicious weapons that My enemy uses against My beloved. Whenever you know you have sinned, come quickly to Me and confess and bring that sin to light rather than attempting to hide it from Me. You will not have a problem with fear or shame when you do this.
GENESIS 3:8-13; 1 JOHN 1:5-10
