GENESIS 2:25
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Genesis 2:25

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

1. Why were they not ashamed? Well they were created in the likeness and image of God. And they were clothed with something other than mere garments.

a. Psalm 104:1,2 “Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

2. Our adorning should not be from the outward but from the inward. You know of course I’m not saying we shouldn’t wear clothes. What I’m saying is the inward man should be louder than what we are wearing.

a. 1 Peter 3:3-5 “Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning or plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjective unto their own husbands:”

3. I am reminded of Jesus in his glorified body.

a. Revelation 1:10-16 “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.”

4. I am reminded of Moses when he came down from Mount Sinai.

a.  Exodus 34:29-35 “And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.

And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.

And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

And [till] Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.

But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel [that] which he was commanded.

And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.”

5. The glory that Moses shone with is a foreshadow of the glory that we exhibit when we are walking in obedience to God. A glory that is not seen in the physical, but in the spirit, the glory that God uses to draw the unsaved to repentance: 2 Corinthians 3 & 4.
