naked

Why did we choose the name Arom for our christian clothing and what does it mean?

In Genesis 2:25 we read that Adam and Eve were both naked and unashamed.
The way God intended man to be.

Naked and without any shame.

The Hebrew word for naked is arom.
Adam and Eve was "arom" and unashamed.

Then in Chapter 3 of Genesis we read about Adam and Eve eating of the fruit of the tree they weren't suppose to eat. God told them they could eat of every tree except of the one tree.

But they didn't listen. They ate of it.

And what was the first thing that happened when they ate of that tree?
They realized they were naked.
Arom.

The Hebrew word used for naked in Chapter 2 is the same word used in Chapter 3, arom.
Naked.

But this time they were ashamed.
They had to cover their nakedness, their shame.

They weren't how God created them anymore. Instead of being naked and unashamed they were naked and ashamed.

So Adam and Eve took fig leaves and hid behind them. They couldn't alow God to see them in their nakedness.

The first thing sin did was to affect their relationship with their Maker.
They didn't have that open, naked, this is who I am, relationship with God anymore.
They had to cover up and hid.

They were scared and ashamed to show God their nakedness.

In our present time, we are like Adam and Eve.
Instead of being naked in front of our God, we cover our nakedness. We are scared to appear before God naked.

That sin I did, that thing I keep doing wrong, that darkness in my heart, I can't let God see that.
I can't let people see that. I have to cover up, I have to hide.
I can't appear before God like this, so naked.
So exposed.

But maybe we can.
We need to go back to being naked and unashamed before God.

And the only way we can be naked without being ashamed, is to trust Jesus.
To trust that He was sent from God to this earth.
To trust that He died for our sins.
To trust that He paid the wages for that thing we want to hide, that thing we don't want anyone to know about, that darkness, that shame.
To trust that Jesus covers us and takes away the shame.
To trust that we can stand before God in Jesus and although we are naked, we don't have to be ashamed.
All the bad stuff I did, all the ugly stuff I want no one to know about, not even God, Jesus paid for it.
I don't have to be ashamed.

I am in Christ.

I am covered with the blood of the Lamb.

My nakedness and shame is covered with the blood of the Lamb.

I can stand before my God, arom and unashamed in Jesus!
