Will You Be Naked on Judgment Day?

Most people in our society would feel embarrassed if they were forced to walk around their community naked. But what if you had no choice on the matter the day you go before God to be judged? What if you were naked before Him....not physically necessarily, but worse....spiritually naked before your Creator, without any covering for your sins against Him? Do you have any idea how you would feel?

Adam and Eve felt ashamed. They had disobeyed God. They suddenly felt naked before Him....which went far deeper than their physical nakedness. After they ate the forbidden fruit, "the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves." (Genesis 3:7) Man has been trying to cover his soul ever since with the "fig leaves" of his religious rituals and human effort.
