God now brings Adam directly to the issue.
Adam had to be brought to the place where he saw that his sin was more serious than the consequences. Often, people are more upset about being caught than they are about breaking the heart of God.
God asks, “Hast thou eaten of the tree?”
This was direct. God was not asking Adam about his feelings, excuses, or fears first. He was asking about obedience.
We often lie or hide to avoid consequences. But when a person realizes he has sinned against God, then making things right with God becomes the first priority.
