'Nakedness and Clothing'
- Main reference: Gn 2:25, 3:6-7
The word nakedness implies that a person was at one point dressed. The plants and animals God created do not wear clothes, but we do not say they are naked. People, on the other hand, wear clothes. The Bible even talks about how God, the angels, and the spiritual body of Jesus are dressed (Mt 17:2; Rv 1:13; Rv 4:4; Rv 15:6).
Adam and Eve were not ashamed of their nakedness until they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gn 2:25; Gn 3:6-7).
As we discussed above, eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil is the same as hearing and accepting the words of the devil.
Adam and Eve realized they were naked and felt shame only after they heard and accepted the words of the serpent (Gn 3:1-13).
Let us first understand what it means to be naked. We should look to the Bible tomorrow as we consider expressions like “hidden things of old” (Ps 78:2), “parables” (Mt 13:34-35), and “the account of creation” (Gn 2:4).
Let's look to the Bible tomorrow.
See you tomorrow~♥
