When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden they lost their innocence and became aware of many things. They understood both their physical and spiritual nakedness and that they could not appear before God that way. God clothed them in the garden. Scripture makes it clear that the spiritual covering we need to be right before God is righteousness. We cannot clothe ourselves in righteousness no matter how hard we try.. only God can provide the robes of righteousness and the garments of salvation. He does this willingly. He paid for the material with His Son's death, and He will clothe those who come to Him in repentance, faith and humility.
