GOSPEL NUGGET # 76

Clothing Styles 

* Man In Guilt

Ge 3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

* Man Under Grace

 Isa 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness...

* Man In Glory

 Re 19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

How can a guilty sinner be clothed with the garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness? By faith in Christ who has become a sin offering for sinners that sinners might become the righteousness of God in Him (see 2 Cor. 5:21)
