Why must we wear clothes of any sort? Why? Why does it matter except for protection from the elements or sharp thingies?
I say let it all “Go Free”. Why not?
well up hear in North Country we wear them for warmth.
Adam and Eve were clothed by The LORD to symbolically cover the shame of their sins. These sins were so serious that they brought disease, terrible injustices, hatred, death and every abominably horrible thing upon generations of their off springs, including you and I.
Soon after they sinned God Himself clothed Adam and Eve with animal skins. Animals had to be sacrificed as a covering for them, animals that had their blood shed. For many years thereafter animals would be sacrificed as a temporary covering for God's peoples’ sins.
At the right time Christ, God's precious and beloved Son, would shed His blood for us. He would die for us, in our place, to pay the price of our sins. He opened up the only way, by faith in Him, for the forgiveness of our sins. When we are forgiven we still, in God's eyes need a covering that He has supplied for us.
When we are saved we are then clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ, not our own righteousness. Our clothing now depicts that we are still clothed, but now we are clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Sin is a serious, serious problem. Clothing signifies that in our souls we recognize this. We need covering for our broken and sinful selves. To be naked in public is shameful because we are exposed, signifying that our sinful selves have no shame, nor covering.
It has to do with modesty, respectfulness, privacy, and decency. People who run around naked show forth that they are disrespectful of the important things concerning their souls, and the souls of others, before The LORD God Almighty. They are showing themselves to be ignoramuses and in contempt of God.
