Nakedness & clothing


Adam & Eve 'took off',
Nakedness and clothing




When Adam and Eve 'took off' what was of the flesh and became living spirits, they were new creations. They rid themselves of all that was shameful (Gn 2:25). 

After they received and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, however, they were ashamed of their nakedness. They were so afraid that they hid themselves among the trees of the Garden (Gn 3:10).

Although they began with the holy spirit, they returned to flesh (Gal 3:3) when they accepted the serpent’s lies. 


They were dust (mere flesh) that became living beings by receiving the holy spirit, but ultimately they lost the holy spirit and returned to the flesh—they 'took off' their clothes. 

Clothes represent the word of God in other words the holy spirit and righteous deeds done according to the word of God.

The holy spirit of God planted the seed of the living word into a field—the heart of his chosen pastor (1 Cor 3:9). After the seed was planted, it sprouted and grew up into a big tree where birds could come and perch. 

This tree of life yields the fruit of life, which according to Mt 13, represent people born of the word of truth. This tree is himself a child and fruit of God. Others can attain eternal life by eating this fruit of the word of life (Gn 3:22).
