Nakedness Covered

We read that God clothed Adam and Eve with coats of skins. That is, their nakedness could only be truly covered up from the eye of God through the benefit derived from the death of a sacrifice. Abel's offering shows out the same.
Also in Gen. 15 we read, Abram "believed in the Lord: and He counted it to him for righteousness." David, who lived nine hundred years after, described the blessedness of the man to whom the Lord imputed righteousness without works, saying. "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity." Psa. 32:1, 2. These scriptures are quoted by the Apostle Paul (Rom. 4:6-81 to make clear to us that the principle on which all are justified from all things, is that of faith without the deeds of the law. Hence, "the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe." Rom. 3:22, 28.
The typical instruction in the Old Testament having its accomplishment in the New Testament, gives a remarkable complexion of unity to the whole Bible. Take, for instance, Abraham's offering up his loved and only son. Isaac. What an accurate fulfillment of this type we have in God's delivering up His only begotten Son as a sacrifice for us! In this one instance we have shadowed forth divine love and grace in laying our iniquity on Him, divine righteousness in judging unsparingly our sins on Him instead of on us, and divine power toward us in raising Him up from the dead and giving us risen life in association with Him.
