What does the Bible say about our nakedness before God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that our nakedness symbolizes our shame and sin before God, which can only be covered by the righteousness of Christ.

In Isaiah 20, the Lord commands Isaiah to walk naked as a sign of the shame of Egypt and Ethiopia. This imagery serves to illustrate the spiritual nakedness of all people before God due to their sin. In the garden, Adam and Eve were unashamed until they sinned; their awareness of their nakedness reflects how sin exposes our true condition before God. The only remedy for this shame is the covering provided by Christ's righteousness, as referenced in Philippians 3:8-9, where Paul expresses the need to be found in Christ, not clothed in his own righteousness but in that which comes through faith in Him.
