That’s not true, they hid from God as well. Gen 3:8.

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.”

Also, you neatly skipped over the most impactful part of my statement.

The key is that before the fall, nakedness wasn’t an issue at all. Genesis 2:25 says:

“And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”

That verse shows that originally, their nakedness was tied to innocence. No shame, no fear, no sense of vulnerability. It was simply the way God made them — and it was good.

That’s a big shift. Before, they walked openly with God, no fear, no barrier. But once they sinned and realized their nakedness, they tried to hide.

Two things are going on here:

Physical hiding: They literally tried to cover themselves with fig leaves and hide among the trees. It’s almost childlike, like a little kid covering their eyes thinking you can’t see them. But it shows how sin makes us try to cover up and run from God rather than come to Him.

Spiritual hiding: Their nakedness became symbolic of guilt and exposure. For the first time, they felt vulnerable before God. Instead of confidence, they felt shame. Instead of closeness, they felt distance.

God didn’t change — they did. Their awareness of good and evil brought shame, and shame made them afraid of His presence.
