fig-leaf and leather clothes

It is not unreasonable to say that human civilization is a civilization of clothing. Each country is wearing different clothes according to its natural environment and cultural background. If you look at clothes, you can easily tell whether their people belong to Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Japanese, or Korean.

1. Adam and Clothes

 
There is a story in the Bible about the clothes that Adam and Haw wore in the beginning of Genesis, and it is interesting to see that story. When Adam and Hawah first received their work, they were full of glory because they existed in the image and shape of God who did not commit sin. I was dressed as God's glory, so I didn't wear anything. It is still the case today. When people are full of grace and the Holy Spirit, their faces shine and they see God's glory all over them. Then, Adam and Hawah were dressed as God's glory, as if they looked very honored and brilliant. However, as soon as they broke away from God by picking good and bad, the first thing they felt was that God's glory had left. When God's glory left, they found a naked existence.

Adam and Hawah were surprised to see that they were naked. All they could do was tear off the leaves of the fig tree and make an apron. The fig tree apron, however, dries up and crinkles as soon as the sunlight rises. I also made clothes with fig leaves, and when it got wrinkled again, I hid because I was so embarrassed that I couldn't walk through the Garden of Eden. But I heard God's voice from the garden. "Adam, Adam, where are you?" But Adam hid from God's shame. He hid because he was afraid of punishment because he was naked.

It was God who found Adam and Hawaii. We are here today because God has found us. We did not come out to find God. God called us first and found us and was dragged out by the voice. We did not love God first, but God loved us first. Even if we lost God's glory and hid from God, he did not abandon us but seek us.

I'm afraid if my conscience is naked. I can't stand in front of people. I'm anxious. I try to avoid it if possible. This is one's instinct. If we are innocent, we can always be bold and confident. But God did not leave Adam and Hawa naked, but rather took them to pity them and caught the beast, bleeding and skinning it, making and putting it on. Adam and Hawa were the first people to wear leather. When Adam and Hawa left Eden wearing leather, they didn't have to worry that it would crumple like a fig leaf anymore. Even in the sun, it was a garment that could defend against him. It was a leather garment that could protect itself against the harsh environment and climate that was cursed. This story has a very symbolic meaning.

2. symbolic clothing

The clothes that humans have made up on themselves, apart from God, are part of an effort to avoid naked shame and despair. Humans make and wear clothes for ethical and moral behavior. Because there is a desire to cover up guilt and innocence in my heart, I try to cover it up with righteous acts, but righteous acts cannot be clothes that can cover up sin. In Part 2:16, he writes, "It is not because of the law that a man is righteous, but because we only know that Jesus Christ is through faith, we also believe in Christ, because we do not write it as an act of the law, but to obtain righteousness by believing in Christ, so we do not have the body to obtain righteousness through the act of the law."

The Bible clearly states that there is no body to be righteous as a moral act. Just remember Jesus' words about a woman who was caught at the scene of an adultery. All the scribes tried to hit her by lifting up a stone. And they asked him, "In Moses' law, a woman who was caught committing adultery was to be stoned to death, what would you do with her?" Then Jesus said, "Those who are innocent among you should stone it first!" He did not say, "Those who are not guilty should be stoned." As he said, those who are not guilty should be stoned. But any of you should stone it first. Then you can clearly imagine what Jesus recorded when he looked each person in the face and then recorded it on the ground with his next finger. You must have recorded the sins of the people. If you repay her by hitting her with a stone, then you will have to be stoned. Therefore, we know that everyone threw away the stones and ran away. After a while, I found out that only the stones were on the ground, but no one was there. Then Jesus said to the woman, "Listen up, woman. Is there anyone who convicts you?" The woman answered, "I'm almost there." Then, Jesus said, "I don't convict you, either. Never sin again when you go home!" Humans have been in a system of sinning ever since they have fallen. Corrupt humans cannot commit the law on their own. Therefore, when the Lord asks her not to go back home and sin again, he tells her until she gives her eternal life to live without sinning. No man can live without sin with human power and power.

The world is a club of righteousness. All those who say they are innocent exist in the world. Those who say they are innocent do not come to the church. However, the church is a club of sinners. Therefore, those who say they are guilty come to the church. The reason is that the church is a place where sins are forgiven through God's grace. The church is not a place of condemnation. If a person who tries to harass and insult a person comes to the church and tries to do it, he or she has come to the church wrong. If you do that, you will be praised by God, but I don't praise you. The church is a place where love teaches and practices to cover up numerous flaws. Therefore, the church is a place of forgiveness and sin. No one is guilty. The church is a place where everyone comes, receives forgiveness, love, and changes. The church is a place where sinners come, are forgiven, and changed. There is no power to change in the world, but the Holy Spirit is changing because the church has the Holy Spirit. The church is a place where little by little changes come, even if they do not change in an instant. Therefore, if you come to the church and confess that we are sinners, the Lord will forgive and forgive us seventy or seven times. That is why non-believers laugh. What kind of church do you come to, keep sinning, repenting, and repenting? However, it is gradually changing in the middle of it. Because the Holy Spirit is in history in the church.

If you look at Genesis 1, the God of God is empty and chaotic, and the dark rocks are deep, and after running on the surface of the water, there is a sky, light, living things, and a new world were created. Where the Holy Spirit operates, a new world is created and changed. When the Holy Spirit operates, both individuals and nations and the world become a new world. No religion can change us. Even if you wear the clothing of self-righteousness, you are making a hypocrite. Therefore, only when the Holy Spirit comes and changes Jesus Christ so that you can become a person who wears true righteous clothing, not a hypocrite. Everything made by men in the world is like a fig leaf. It gets wrinkled up. The clothes that do not get dirty, wither, and disappear forever are the clothes called Jesus Christ given by God. After dressing as Jesus Christ, Christ can become a clothes of forgiveness and reconciliation, a clothes of joy and desire, and a clothes that help us in all aspects.

3. clothing made by God

We must think deeply about the leather clothing God has given us. In Eden, Adam and Hawa shed blood when they captured and killed the beast in order to cover him with his naked body. You must shed blood to skin. You cannot skin without bleeding. Therefore, catching a beast and bleeding and peeling its skin to make clothes symbolizes that Jesus will come and bleed on his body and take off the clothes of righteousness and dress us in the future. Therefore, Isaiah 53:5 states, "He is stabbed because of our faults. His hurt is because of our sins, so we enjoy peace and we are punished because he is punished, and we are punished because he is beaten by the whip."

Jesus accepted all of our sins and faults on the cross and gave us his life. Therefore, Jesus' death, my death, Jesus' resurrection, and my resurrection. The Bible says that we always carry the death of Jesus on our bodies, so that the life of Jesus also appears in our bodies. Therefore, the events of the cross of Christ are not just an event that occurred 2,000 years ago, but occur in us every moment through the Holy Spirit. Every moment in our minds, our old people are crucified on the cross, and the life of Christ's resurrection is given to us every moment. If we realize, look, believe, and confess with our lips, we can enter and live in that grace.

In Rome 3:23:24, he writes, "Everyone has sinned, but he has not reached the glory of God, but he has become a man who has been righteous without value by God's grace due to the vulgarity in Christ Jesus." Everyone has sinned, but he has religion through his power, but he can't reach God no matter how much he dresses with the honor of the world, but if you believe in Jesus, you can stand before God in front of him with no value by the grace.


In John 3:18, he said, "I encourage you to buy gold from me that has been attached to fire, make him rich, and wear white clothes so that he does not show any naked figures, and buy eye drops and apply them to his eyes." But nothing can buy Christ's white clothes. You live only at the cost of faith in Jesus' blood. Blood is a gift to us without merit. What God wants most is to peel off all our sins and faults in the past and dress them with forgiveness and righteousness. According to the Bible, the story of the returned prodigy recorded in the gospel, it is recorded that when the prodigy returned, his father excelled. When the son returned from repentance, why did the father excel to greet him? In the Old Testament, he told his parents that any child who disobeyed and rebelled would be stoned to death. Therefore, if a neighbor sees a prodigy who is disobedient to his father and spends all his fortune living in a pigsty, he may stoned to death. So I thought I should quickly protect my son before the Dongri man came out and stoned him to kill him, so I ran out, brought him in, and told him to put on the best clothes first.

God also loves us so much that he wants us to come out first and protect us. It is God who wants us to come out and dress us with forgiveness and righteousness so that demons and evil forces cannot judge us. Otherwise, we cannot be saved. We are bound to be judged, but God saves us and comes out and hugs us with eternal love. When the prodigal son came to the Bible, the father said to his servants, "Give out the best clothes and wear them." It is not shabby clothes, it is not the clothes you wore before, but to have the best clothes and wear them. In this way, God is changing the lives covered with tears into holy clothes. It is not that you keep peeling and pointing out your skin and making people ugly, but that you dress them in holy clothes. In Hebrew 10:10, "We have gained holiness by following this will at once giving the body of Jesus Christ." Jesus is judged as a tear instead of us, so we are forgiven from the tear and we are not discussing it again.

In Golosae 3:12, it is written, "So you are dressed in pride, mercy, humility, warmth, and long patience, just like God chose to be holy and loved." God is speaking by comparing all our lives to wearing clothes. Therefore, we are no longer those who live in crumpled clothes with fig leaves in this world. We are the ones who God dressed us in miraculous clothing through Jesus Christ. Therefore, what happened to us was that it gave us the belief that it could happen. If God orders anyone to throw them into the sea, they will be done. It doesn't just become special people. We can do that, too. Everyone who believes in Jesus has faith that can carry the birth. We can live a life full of life, a life full of fate and environment, and a life full of life, soon and in the afterlife, wearing Christ's clothes. Because those who wear these clothes have the courage to trust God. Therefore, don't lament that you don't have any more faith because having only 1% faith will carry the mountain, even if everyone has doubts. If you use 1% faith, that belief will continue to grow.
 
Two weeks ago, I went to the prayer house to preach, and the 13-year-old son of a pastor who works in the prayer house came to pray. When I went to middle school, my son in the soccer club had swollen legs and took an X-ray picture, and the cancer spread to the bone. The doctor was surprised because cancer was not only bone but also skin. He said it was strange that my leg bone was not broken, and he told me to go to a university hospital because our hospital could not treat it. When I went to the university hospital, he shook his head and told me to go to the nuclear hospital, so I brought him to the prayer house before going to the hospital. The child kept asking me to give him the ordination of our pastor. However, 99% of doubts were in my father's mind when I brought my son with me. "My child with cancer in his bones, postpone it from a general hospital to a university hospital, and then a university hospital to a cancer hospital. How can I do it?" However, I was praying that God can do it with 1% of faith, but when a child was prayed for and asked me how I felt, I felt a tinge. So when I went to a cancer hospital and took a picture, the cancer disappeared from nowhere.

Isn't it irrational? Isn't it irrational? Isn't this impossible to happen in the human world? Wouldn't it be crazy to tell people who don't? Therefore, these beliefs are not global beliefs, but those that are creative and transcend reason and the world by believing in God and the word. Therefore, be strong in your faith in God and be bold. It is good to be irrational and irrational. To believe in God is a creative belief. It is a belief that saves the dead and makes what is not. Therefore, God is saying to us who have such faith, "Be as you believe." It is to be true to faith.

Even today, if we use this belief, we can move a lot of mountains and live a winning life. It is very different from a person who tries to live a rational and logical life by weaving clothes with fig leaves, which is a human belief. God gave Jesus, the son of God, as a gift. Through that gift, we have been forgiven and righteous, have become children, and have become people who can use God's faith with the Holy Spirit. We have this faith from God. There is a creative belief. Therefore, praying in Jesus' name at this time today solves the problem. The church is not just a place where people come and go every week and practice their religion. The church is where change and miracles take place. I pray in your name that many miraculous histories will appear through our Lord here today.

-Prayers-
God of love! Thank you so much for God's grace for peeling off the clothes of the dirty, ugly, poor, cursed and sick world, and dressing us in holy white clothes made pure by the blood of Jesus Christ. From now on, I hope to live with eyes of faith that can carry mountains. Restoring our faith every day and history us as miracles in our lives!
I pray in the name of Jesus.
Aman!
