Genesis 3:10 “And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself”
God is certainly merciful. He could have appeared in front of Adam and Eve out of thin air and completely surprised them in their nakedness, but He was kind enough to call ahead of time and let them know He was coming. He could have immediately confronted them face to face. If He had, their hearts might have stopped from the shock. As it was, the voice of Love alone was enough to put them into a full flight of complete panic.
Neither the best camouflage nor all the fig leaves in the world will ever be enough covering for sin. The Word of God pierces all our pretenses and exposes our utter nakedness. Our natural response is fear and the urge to get away. And so we run from Love.
Does the Word of God scare you? Are you afraid to you see yourself exposed, and realize your spiritual nudity? Be thankful for the Word of warning that comes to call you out today. Don’t hide from Truth. Don’t hide from Love.
