Try as we may, we can't cover ourselves

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Genesis 3:7

Since the beginning mankind has tried to cover its own transgressions with less than stellar results. As a matter of fact, it never works. Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden of Eden, and lost the covering of God. That is why they realized they were naked. When we go outside of the will of God for our lives, we feel naked and exposed, and we should repent and get right with God. Adam and Eve attempted to cover themselves with material that WOULD NOT LAST! Fig leaves, that would cover their nakedness for a moment, but eventually disintegrate, and the process would have to start over. God saw this, and in vs 21, made garments of skin for the first couple. The skin would last, but it would not be sufficient to cover the stain of sin. God had to send His Son to dies on the cross, and make a sufficient sacrifice. And he(JESUS) is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.(1 John 2:2)
What separates our Faith from many other religions is the fact that there is nothing we can do to earn our way into eternal life. We are saved by grace through FAITH! It is the gift of God. The shedding of Christs' blood covered all sins of those who believe, past, present and future. We cannot ever fall into the falsehood that we can cover our own sins. Witness to those who don't believe, tell them about Jesus and how He saved your soul. Thank God for Jesus and that He is still covering, even today!
Grace and Peace
