"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."
Without commitment truth in the inward parts with Eve her heart was a strange continent and it was disengaged so to speak. So the rational way in which the serpent spoke and presented the delectable form and color of fruits inflamed her senses. Without which influencers of our times would not succeed in enriching themselves. Did you notice the instagram look these days? Lately it is sporting a gaunt look and they succeed to con the unwary undergo buccal fat removal. The sunken cheeks shall soon show that of a hideous hag, and when truth hits women, they shall rue that accentuating high cheekbones is pass. This is called ways of the world. Satan presides over the foolish and it works on this premise: 'every man's loss is someone else's gain'. In winning over Eve Satan gained thwarting the Salvation plan of God.
Eve passed on her knowledge of good and evil to her man. They did eat. Since then living in one world of now became the norm. The world of the Spirit for many is non-existent. Glory which was an ornament and a covering for them vanished! Their eyes opened only to know they were naked." What useless knowledge was that?
Without setting the truth like frontlets before your eyes how are you settling what is good or what is evil? Some barbaric countries are willing to hang the youth for matters they as old have not arrived at. Their religion have deceived them just Satan deceived Adam and Eve. They made themselves aprons which was what their knowledge could come up.
Jesus said, 'in me you might have peace'.( John 16:33). How true it is. Look how the man and woman reacted at the voice of the Lord! They were thrown into confusion.
My first thoughts on reading this post , were not to do with the internet and anyone's appearance , women or men . I noticed how Adam and Eve tried to hide their shame by making clothes from leaves but later on in Genesis Ch 3 V 21 , God Himself makes them clothes of animal skins , God Himself sheds blood in order to cover their shame . Do any of us think this might be connected to Cain and Abel s offerings in Genesis Ch 4 ? Or perhaps to Abraham's words to Isaac in Genesis ch 22 V 7+8 ? Food for thought perhaps ?
My thoughts are like yours. When Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves for their nakedness that evidenced that they had sinned, they may have thought they would be ok before God and each other if their nakedness did not show. But God's plan was to cover them with a blood offering to take away their sin. By killing an animal to cover them with the skin of an animal is an example of how the blood of the perfect "Lamb of God" will come and cover their sin with his righteousness through the shedding of His blood.
I do not know how much Adam and Eve understood about God's plan of salvation because Scripture does not tell us. Yet, I believe that since God still met with them in the Garden, it is safe to say that God explained how their sins will be covered by the Messiah. Perhaps they had full knowledge of the gospel at that time, but saw it as to be fulfilled in the future with the coming of the Holy One sent from God to save them. Perhaps they were told that the shedding of the blood of the animal would serve as a reminder to them of how God covers sin. It does not say that God stopped meeting with Adam even though they were sent out of the Garden. They must have known more than we can know at this time. We may find out in the life to come when we can ask them or ask Jesus.
Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the GOSPEL preached, as well as unto THEM, but the word did not profit them, not being mixed with FAITH (of Christ) in them.
The same gospel does not profit most today, they haven't died to SELF, so ONLY Christ reigns in HIS BODY (all; the NEW CREATION).
Most DO NOT BELIEVE:
Ezekiel 36:27 ANd I WILL put my spirit in my body (the NEW CREATION) and CAUSE my (NEW) body to WALK in my statutes and KEEP my judgements (WORDS) and DO THEM.
They read the words, write the words, speak the words, BUT DO NOT BELIEVE the words.
If Christ is CAUSING you to WILL and to DO, then how can one sin.
The sin is UNBELIEF. All other sins is COVERED by his blood.
When HE (the spirit of truth) IS COME (like a thief that can't be seen) HE WILL reprove the world of SIN: of SIN because they don't BELIEVE the WORD.
What is knowable of God is breathed into man-he is a living soul. Abel is qualified as the righteous one. And Cain the wicked one. To the pure He shall reveal himself as pure meaning the significance of word is delivered as instinct of sorts. to him. This must be true in the case of Abel.
The Spirit helps us with our infirmities. As with prayers the Spirit helps us according to the will of God (Ro.8:26-27). Perhaps it helps us understand why he chose to be a shepherd. God had set him in context of his Son the Good Shepherd. Nature and nurture also explain. God clothing them with coats of skin was part of the family lore often heard sitting around the hearth. Abel sought to please God with the best while Cain merely offered his share as though he meant,'take it or leave it' attitude.
The internet setting trends is very much part of Satan's repertoire, to make the worldly consume their hours with fashions of the day. I know how my brother first going to the city for a college degree wanted a new wardrobe. My father would have no nonsense with Elvis hairdo or drainpipes. My brother was browbeaten to be a square while everyone was in the swim of things. In my pre-teen period it made me think what fashion made the world follow ever since. My conclusion is what I posted in my post. By trying to pass off as regular do I neglect what I think of my real self?
