Dress code of the Kingdom of God. Culture and etiquette of the heavenly civilization
We continue to study the reality of the Kingdom of God. Like any other state, the Kingdom of God is a collection of different ministries. This time, the focus is on the Ministry of culture. Appearance of the celestials, their wardrobe. Their uniform or dress code.
Clothing is an essential part of every nation's culture. Thanks to traditional styles, you can easily determine the national origin and status of this person.
Thanks to the traditional dress of the Kingdom of God, you can easily identify its fellow citizens and representatives.
It is clothing that determines not only the origin, but also the caliber of a given person. A naked man is absolutely a nobody and there is no way one can address. This is what Paul says in the following passage of Scripture:
"For we know that when our earthly home, this hut, is destroyed, we have from God a dwelling in heaven, a house not made with hands, eternal.
Because we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling;
If only we are not naked and clothed" (2 Cor. 5:1-3).
In the passage read, we are talking about two categories-about clothing and about nudity. That being dressed is good, but being undressed is bad.
Yes, there is nudity justified and unjustified. There is a natural nudity, as the norm of life. What kind of marriage is complete without intimacy, blessed and beautiful nudity? On the other hand, we came into this world naked, and we will leave naked.
"And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked" (Gen. 3:7).
God forbid we repeat such a story.
"If only we were clothed and not naked" (2 Cor. 5:3).
I had not noticed a practical parallel between these places before. And when I did, it was a deep, sobering revelation.
On the territory of the Kingdom of God, nakedness is a phenomenon alien to the divine nature. The culture of the Kingdom of God presupposes Royal etiquette.
Everyone is dressed - no one is undressed.
The classic traditional dress of the Kingdom of Heaven is the Glory of God. The glory of God is the robe Of the Creator himself. The solemn garments of His greatness and power.
And since man was created in the image and likeness of God, the Creator clothed His favorite creation in the same clothes from his own Royal wardrobe.
The guarantee of protection and success, the guarantee of your and my victory , is the glory of God.
Time to seek the Lord and review your spiritual wardrobe.
Of course, I will not repeat the entire sermon. But I'm sure your idea of the Kingdom will change slightly. Maybe not a little. In short, welcome to the Sunday service Dress code of the Kingdom of God. Culture and etiquette of the heavenly civilization.
