Unapologetic

 One of the greatest losses in the Garden of Eden was humanity's loss of innocence. When God called Adam and Eve they hid in fear, covering their bodies with leafs to hide themselves. Such a stark contrast with Jesus, who carried all the sins of humanity bare naked on a cross, visible for all to see, unapologetic, yet judged by all who where watching.

The way of sin is judgement and fear, one leads to cover yourself up, the other leads to hide yourself. I strongly desire for the church to get the deep revelation this entails. If we are truly free there is nothing to hide and nothing to cover up. No fear and no judgment. It is heartbreaking to me that the church is a place where we need to hide and cover ourselves. Most of the times people don't even realize they are doing it.  Jesus did not only pay for our sins, he restored the innocence of all who follow him. This is what it truly means to become like little children. We can be so safe in God that we are no longer afraid of darkness, pain and evil. This is Gods gift to us, to live your lives unafraid of your desires, consequence's and failures. To be unapologetic in everything you do because fear and judgement are far behind you. God is your refuge. Sadly we can hardly believe this for ourselves, let alone for our brothers and sisters. And in this unbelief we cling to our sinful nature because we think we have to fight it. We even think God demands it from us to fight it. If only we could grasp the richness of the renewed man that was resurrected with Christ. Not on the day of judgment but the day you became born again. The true outrageousness of the cross is not just the forgiveness of sins, not even the restoration to the state of Adam and Eve. It is the fact that humanity is richer than it has ever been. We still know good and evil through mans first sin, but true goodness has been given to us, while knowing good and evil, our childlike innocence has been restored. So we should be fearless, unapologetic, wild and free, leaving the wisdom and judgment of religion behind us to become something new. Not servants, but a bride. How could we ever be a bride to christ if we can't leave our fear of sin behind? God trusts us so much that we are to mary his Son in the future and are one with the Holy Spirit in the present. Truly, what does this say about you? Trow away the leafs that cover your shame and walk unapologetic without fear that your desires will lead you astray, because if you do, and you stop hiding, God will show up and walk with you just like he did with Adam and Eve. He will protect you from evil desires and darkness. Everything that is uncovered is his. 

For this reason we should never put to shame a brother or sister who wholeheartedly and sincerely tries to walk with God. Because if we do, we will scare them in the bushes and make them cover their intimate parts. it's so easy to judge the free. I would like to encourage you all to be intimate with God and with each other, to throw away the leaves that cover you and come out of hiding. To be spiritually naked and have fellowship with Him and each other. Let us truly be like children.
