Genesis 3:21 The Best Dress

on


Genesis 3:21 “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” 

Here we have God making again. God as Creator and God as Redeemer are two identities that cannot be separated. He makes clothes to cover the guilty pair, and the material he uses is skin. You can’t take the hide off an animal without taking its life. So with this first animal sacrifice, God explained the sacrificial system and its meaning, pointing forward to His sacrifice as the lamb of God (See Genesis 4:3-7, Proverbs 27:26). 

God remains the source of the clothing we need today! He gave His life to remedy the nakedness of your soul. Won’t you accept the robe of His righteousness? As with Adam and Eve, putting on the change of garment signifies a change in relationship to God from one of guilt, hiding, and the self-justification of dead works, to one of humility, repentance, faith, and acceptance of His covering by the sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God. Stop hiding from Him! Stop trying to cover the rottenness of your heart and soul with the fig leaves of your own dead works.

The Word of God is bread from heaven. God sent it, but we must gather it, appreciate it, digest it, and live by it. These days it is increasingly scarce. Many are starving for it and don't know it because they keep feasting on bad bread that doesn't satisfy. But if we would learn to carefully gather up the fragments of the True, Heavenly Bread of Life, we would always enjoy a feast of crumbs, because even God's crumbs are miracles mighty to save (Mark 7:24-30). ESPAÑOL: La Palabra de Dios es pan del cielo. Dios lo envió, pero debemos recogerlo, apreciarlo, digerirlo y vivir por él. Hoy en día es cada vez más escaso. Muchos están muriendo de hambre por falta de él sin saberlo porque se alimentan de pan falso que no satisface. Pero si aprendiéramos a recoger cuidadosamente los fragmentos del Verdadero Pan Celestial, Pan de Vida, siempre disfrutaríamos de un banquete de migajas, porque hasta las migajas de Dios son milagros poderosos para salvar (Marcos 7:24-30).
