Covering in the cold

Job 24:7 "They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold". To be cold is feeling the sensation of coldness, especially to the point of discomfort. The coldness I am talking about is not physical but spiritual. And my definition of spiritual coldness is simply distant from God. Any time you shift away from God you start getting cold spiritually. Hebrews12:29 "For our God is a consuming fire". So distant from God makes you cold. In the book of job, job began to explain why this spiritual coldness wasn't fought. He said and I quote "They cause the NAKED to LODGE without CLOTHING; that they have no COVERING in the COLD". So this spiritual coldness is as a result being naked. How did this  nakedness come about? And what does it mean to be naked? To be naked is to be in sin. No one is born with clothing on. Everyone on earth was born naked. David said in psalms 51:5 "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me". In the beginning, before adam sinned. when the relationship between man and God was still intact. Adam entered God presence without fear. He didn't feel unworthy or ashamed, but when he disobeyed God and sin came into existence. Adam became afraid and self conscious. Genesis3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. So a naked man is a man in sin and who is self conscious. When adam sinned and fear came into existence. Nothing sponsors boldness like righteousness. After  adam confess his sin to God, God clothed him. Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. Coats of skins are gotten from animals. So an animal had to be sacrificed. Adam wasn't still allowed to enter the presence of God, because the sacrifice only covers it, it doesn't wash it away like the blood of Jesus.  Jesus is our sacrifice,  we are all sinners and we need to be covered. In the natural world, when a man is cold and naked, he seek Comfort by covering himself which protects him from the cold. Whenever we sin and feel guilty we start to try to make amend. To try to cover up our sin. To pay for our sins, And no matter how hard we try sometimes we feel its not enough. We try to seek our own comfort. Not knowing Jesus christ has already paid the price. And no Matter How hard we try our sacrifice can never be enough.jesus taught us to seek God righteousness rather than a way to clear our conscience . Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.The righteousness of God is Jesus.    1john 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.Paul the apostle discover this truth which is to look up to jesus righteousness not his. he discovered that we are all naked (ie sinner) before God. Hebrews4:13 "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are NAKED and OPENED unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. He later said in Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. And also discovered that when we try to pay for the sacrifice we remind God of our sins.  Hebrews 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. he said in Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Jesus is the greatest sacrifice. Paul told the brethren in the early church to enter God presence boldly Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. I said something earlier that nothing sponsors boldness like righteousness. Not our righteousness but his own. When we confess our sins and believe in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we will be justified by God. Jesus Christ came to cover the gap between man and God.  Jesus Christ is our covering.  So what job was trying to say was that these naked people (sinners) lodge (temporary stay ie on the earth) without clothing.  The clothing he is talking about is the gospel ie Good news. So they have no covering (jesus) in the cold(when they are in sin, Times when they feel God is far from them). And the people who cause these people to remain naked are believers. How do they cause them to remain naked?  By condemning and not saving them. Jesus came not to condemn the world but to save it. Jesus loves you thats why he died for you. Accept his love proposal and sacrifice by giving your life to him today. And see what he will do with it.  Stay blessed.
