Naked

“As the world is rapidly heading to its end, we are also promptly running toward the judgment day of Christ”

Have you ever ask yourself if you are walking naked or clothed daily? That’s sounds like a weird question isn't it? Well, through a logical perspective it doesn't make sense at all because you obviously put clothes on to go anywhere you need to go, but when you look at it through a biblical perspective it makes perfect sense to ask yourself that question, because we are accountable to God for the life He has given us to live every day. Whether you are a believer or not, one day you are going to stand before God to give an account for what you did with your life.

How do we walk naked daily?
In society today it is difficult to know how naked we take the street every day to engage in our daily activities because society and culture has brought to us a new norm as the human race defines“ evil good” and “good evil”. The nakedness I am talking about is “spiritual nakedness”, meaning when we live according to the natural law of life by exiting God’s precepts, values and morals by which we are to live.

I have met people who claim to be clothed with being a good person according to their morals and values, but walking spiritually naked by feeding their pride with what they do that looks good for the praise of men, for the bible says only God is good (Mark 10:18). We can walk clothed professing love but spiritually naked with hatred (Leviticus 19:17). We can be clothed with niceness of speech but spiritually naked with adultery, fornication and lust (Matthew 5:28; 1 Corinthians 6:18; Hebrews 13:4; Proverbs 6:32). We can be clothed with finances but naked with emptiness. We can be clothed with a beautiful appearance, but naked with the identity and purpose that is found only in Christ. We can be clothed with appreciative words of kindness but naked spiritually with jealousy. We can be clothed with possessions but naked with idolatry. We can be clothed as church goers or believers, but naked with unbelief (James 1:19-25). We can be clothed with understanding but naked with deception and stubbornness (Proverbs 3:5-6). We can be clothed with education but naked with profanity.

1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” In this verse a promise of God’s faithfulness is made to you and I that no matter how hard we are tempted it is not uncommon to us mankind, but sometimes we get so comfortable in it gratifying our fleshly desires we get lost in it and ignore the way out God has provided for us to overcome. It’s time to wake up people of God!

Living in a state of nakedness is living unprotected; biblically speaking it is living a rebellious life spiritually uncovered. The bible says in 1 Samuel 15:23 “Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So because you have rejected the command of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.”

My purpose in writing this blog is not to bring out how naked you are, because we are all in some way walking spiritually uncovered at some point. My purpose is to tell you to start being more conscious of how you walk daily, check yourself and the only way it can be done is by reading the bible and asking God to help you understand His word the way He wants you to understand it.

We are living in a society where churches are desensitized to the Holy Spirit and insensitive to sin. Now is the time for you to walk spiritually covered and be sensitive to the Holy Spirit so you may know the truth and receive the freedom that comes with it (John 8:31-33), instead making yourself believe you have the light, reexamine for that light may be darkness, the bible warns “how deep is that darkness” (Matthew 6:22).

As we see the signs of the end time are getting more intense all around us, there is no better day, hour, minute and second than now to make a personal check in our lives and in our relationship with Christ to see how far or close we are from Him because now is the time to get closer and closer to Him.


And for you who have not met Jesus and accepted Him in your life I invite you to ask Him to come into your heart today if you are confused He can give you clarity, if you don’t know what to believe ask Him to reveal himself to you and receive the abundant life he has for you. He is knocking at your door today, answer Him before it is too late.
