Why did God makes these coats of skins for Adam and Eve? They already had aprons of fig leaves to cover themselves from their nakedness and shame. What was the point?

The Serpent (3:1-5)

Deceit (more subtil) (clever at attaining one's ends by indirect and often deceptive means)
Doubt (yea hath God said?) (doubting the Word of God)
Discontent (ye shall not eat of EVERY TREE of the garden?) (not being content with what God has given)
Denial (ye shall not surely die) (the wages of sin is death)

The Sin (3:6)

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Lust of the flesh (saw that the tree was good for food)
Lust of the eyes (that it was pleasant to the eyes)
Pride of life (desired to make one wise)
Seeing that it would satisfy her flesh, eyes, and make her wise was not the sin. Not even taking the fruit was the sin. It is when she ate the fruit that she had sinned. Temptation is not a sin, but giving into the temptation is sin.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

The Sewing (3:7)

(Their awareness) Their eyes were opened. When one sins, shame and guilt is sure to come.
Drinking too much produces pounding headaches, wrecks, death.
Fornication can lead to unplanned pregnancy, diseases, regret.

18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Lust leads to adultery, broken marriages, broken homes, broken hearted children.
SIN LOOKS GOOD, AND THEIR MAY BE PLEASURE IN IT FOR A SEASON, BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SHAME AND GUILT, WHICH WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO HIDE YOUR SIN.
(Their apparel) They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves approns)
This was man’s feeble attempt to cover his shame. Sin tries to deal with guilt and shame by good works in an attempt to appease the conscience, trying to redeem oneself by self-works, but it never works. I DID this. I DID that.
Patched - THEY sewed. They done the work to try to hide their shame from God.
Powerless - Fig leaves. The material of the covering wouldn’t last long at all. (Dead leaves crumble)
Partial - Aprons. It wouldn’t cover every part of their body.

The Skins (3:21)

God did not approve of the clothing that Adam and Eve made themselves. If He did, there would have been no need for Him to make coats for them. These skins and covering that God made for Adam and Eve are a great portrayal of the Gospel.
The Sacrifice (Coats of skins) - God had to slay an innocent animal and shed its blood.

22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Jesus was a lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

The Substitution (Coats of Skins) - In order for Adam and Eve to be clothed, something had to die. Christ was our substitute to die on the cross in our place that we may be clothed in a robe of righteousness.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering:

18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

The Supplying (GOD MADE THE COATS OF SKINS) - salvation is supplied by God for the sinner, not by the sinner. It is not of man’s works. The attempt of Adam and Eve to supply their own covering what inadequate and was never able to save them. ONLY GOD CAN SAVE US.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by vthe washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
