CAN’T MAKE UP FOR YOUR NAKEDNESS
And the eyes of them both were
opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together,
and made themselves aprons. Genesis 3:7
When Eve sinned, Adam also became a
sinner because of his relationship with her, when we sin; we lead and make
others who are looking up to us prune to sin. Every body in this world has
those he is mentoring whether knowingly or unknowingly, those that are in their
sphere of influence are those that are in their world, Adam was in Eve’s
sphere, so it was easy for Eve to influence him.
When you sin, you make your world
sin. Christ commissioned that we should preach our world into righteousness not
to sin.
When they sinned, the sew fig leaves
to cover their nakedness, imaging how that would look like on them; fig leaves
can’t cover up a naked person. When God saw how naked they were in there
fig-leaves cloth ‘Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of
skins, and clothed them’ Genesis 3:21.
There is nothing a sinner can do to
make up for his nakedness, all his self righteous deed like sponsoring church
projects, taking care of the fatherless, sheltering the homeless, praying and
fasting, working in the church etc. are just like sewing fig leaves to cover up
a naked body, it doesn’t work; we need God to cloth us up with His
righteousness to be really covered up. We need to submit our heart to Christ
and accept Him as our lord and personal savior.
God cant cloth you until you accept
you are naked, let Him stripe you of your self righteousness so that He can
cloth you with His righteous.
An ungodly man can’t be good enough
for heaven.
Prayer: Lord, take away every self
righteous act in me that had not allowed me accept been clothed by your
righteousness in Jesus name. Amen
