William E Combs developed this book from a sermon idea and in it he explores the concepts of sin and righteousness. He shows how unbelief destroys God’s relationship with humanity and faith, Gods grace and Gods Love restore it. The manifestations of God’s loving kindness from creation are seen in this book and the personal testimonies.
William E Combs in his book who told you that you were naked directs his spiritual illumination towards the old testament to understand God better. God warned Adam not to eat off the tree of the knowledge of good and evil but when God comes to visit Adam and Eve He finds that they ate the forbidden fruit and God kicks them out of the garden. Adam and Eve get two sons and Cain kills his brother Abel at which point sin brings death. William E Combs shows that Adam choose to believe Eve instead of having faith in God’s instructions which led to the downfall. God clothes us in His righteousness, through faith in Jesus who died for all humans enabling believers to receive the Holy Spirit. In this relationship of faith, we entre God’s rest where the tasks we’re called to finish are completed for us beforehand in the works of Jesus.
Adam’s and Eve’s disobedience brings sin which causes death to all humans. Unbelief causes us to miss on God’s best and this has bad consequences. God’s will was that Jesus took the place of everyone in the judgment for sin and everyone took the place of Jesus in righteousness, through grace which restored the broken relationship. This shows God’s love for humanity. Being born again is a must for a relationship with God. By God’s grace humanity enters God’s rest that was attained before the foundation of the world. William E. Combs revelation is nicely expressed with good stories incorporated as examples to improve the reader’s perception.
Who told you that you were naked uses a cover photo of a lovely looking fruit that illustrates the forbidden fruit eaten by Adam and Eve. It introduces its readers to a totally different perception from other critiques of the story of Adam and Eve. Appropriate biblical verses are used to strengthen the points in the book. I love how it’s a convincing read.
This book is a unique perspective of what took place in the garden of Aden as it shows background scenes that are not captured in the bible and the events that followed thereafter to form life as we know it. I would recommend it to any individual who would like to know about sin and how God deals with it. Despite minor grammatical errors, the book was a great read hence I give it a 4 out of 4 rating because of its appropriateness in explaining man’s downfall and redemption.
