Some folks who would never think of wearing shorts or any other apparel that insufficiently covers their bodies, leave their souls without a stitch on them.<\/p>\n
This is a shameful condition, just as physical nakedness has always stood as a symbol of shame<\/strong> (2 Samuel 10:4; Isaiah 20:4). If physical nakedness is a shame, how much more should we be embarrassed about the spiritual nakedness of our souls.<\/p>\n The church at Laodicea thought they were spiritually rich and clothed, but our Lord said, “and knowest not that thou are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind and naked<\/em><\/strong>” (Revelation 3:17 KJV). He counsels them to purchase “white raiment that thou mayest be clothed<\/em><\/strong>” (Revelation 3:18 KJV). It is therefore possible to think that one is sufficiently clothed, and not know that the shame of his unrighteousness is laid bare to the eyes of the Lord (Hebrews 4:13; cf. Psalm 90:8).<\/p>\n There is a remedy for spiritual nakedness, and that is clothing the soul by righteousness. This righteousness involves purity of character (“white raiment” as Jesus described it), love for the Lord (1 John 4:16-21), and complete submission to his will (Matthew 7:21). Jesus said to John concerning his baptism “For thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness<\/em><\/strong>” (Matthew 3:15 KJV).<\/p>\n We see that Jesus was totally submissive to His Father’s will and so should we be that we do not appear naked and ashamed on the day of judgment (2 Corinthians 5:1-3; 2 Corinthians 5:10).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some folks who would never think of wearing shorts or any other apparel that insufficiently covers their bodies, leave their souls without a stitch on them.
