It is interesting in Verse 8 that after Adam and Eve sinned, it says that they "Hid themselves" The guilt of sin drives us from God. Our own sin seperates us from God. It seems God is always searching for us, but our own sins push us away from God. I am so glad that He never gives up chasing after us, like a good parent!
In Verse 9 it says that God asked "Where are you?" This is not the call of an arresting policeman, but the sob of heartbroken father who has lost his child. How would you feel as a father if when you came home your children ran and hid from you! This is how God felt and this is how He feels today, when our sins drive us from Him. This is what is so bad about sin, the darkness that it causes, makes us run from the glory of God. He doesn't change but we do when we sin.
