Are there any verses or stories in the Bible that back this "God is repulsed by you and cannot stand to look at you unless you are clothed in Christ" concept? (I know God forsook Jesus, but that was literally the entire sin of all humankind ever.) I'm trying to help someone who feels this way to not feel this way.
