Genesis 2:25 Adam and his
wife were both naked, and they
felt no shame.
Here God has finished creation, ending with man
and woman, and they were completely naked and unafraid, with no shame.
My how far we’ve fallen!
Man, in his unique position of living in the
holiness of God, walking in his presence, living under his provision, following
his commands, lives in total and complete openness without any fear.
Any time we are completely vulnerable, open, and
“naked” with someone there is bound to be disappointment or hurt of some kind,
which causes us to shrink back from being so open the next time. Hurt and disappointment does that.
But in our newly created state of human being,
we see that prior to sin, there is freedom unparalleled and peace like we have
never experienced.
I know this state of being is coming again. Jesus is coming again to restore us to that
position, one of walking with Him unafraid and unashamed, completely free to be
who it is He has created us to be…in his presence.
I’m in awe and wonder of what that will be
like…aren’t you? In fact, I'm curious if we can experience it now...
