Topic: Naked Because Of Disobedience
Text: Genesis 3:8-13
8And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Key Verse: “… and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” Genesis 3:10b
Message
If someone suddenly found himself naked in front of his schoolmates and teachers, he would feel ashamed and wished the ground to open and swallow him up. How terrible then would it be to be found naked before God? Naked, not because you have no clothes on, but because the covering of righteousness has been removed: your sins have exposed you before God. Most people on earth, though wearing the most beautiful clothes their money could buy are actually naked spiritually before God. Adam said he was naked and was ashamed to stand naked before God. Why did Adam, who had lived in the Garden for a while, suddenly realized that he was naked? His sin had stripped him of the robe of righteousness God had put on him. He was afraid to meet the same God he had been having fellowship with in the coolness of every evenings. He became fearful of the presence of God Who loved him and Whom he loved earlier. What a difference sin can make in our relationship with the holy God! Though Adam tried to cover his physical nakedness with leaves, yet it was only God Who could redeem his lost soul.

Like Adam, you cannot hide from God. Don’t try to cover your sins; it will only make you afraid of the holy God. Repent and make your way right before God. Do not go back to your sinful habits and Jesus will forgive you and cover you with the robe of righteousness.

Prayer for today: Lord, I repent. Forgive me and give me the joy of Your salvation.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
