"As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand."
I want to use back to back verse 15 and 16 for its eternal purpose for us. As he came forth of his mother's womb - word study, come; the gift of God - life; How often it is that the child of God fails to see the most obvious of gifts from God. Many a time God has reminded me and revealed to me the basics. I didn't have to be born. I didn't have to have life or experience what I experience with God and for God. He could jsut as easily passed over me and left me desolate and lost and ruined for eternity. But He didn't; oH, praise His Name, He didn't. How much you and I owe to a great God, Who had great love for great sinners for a great salvation. 'All to HIm I owe' is the utterance from my lips when I think on such things. I was given life and allowed to live. God gave me to Christian parents. I knwo not all can say this. but God gave us parents that allowed for us to be brought into this world. without them you woudl not have life. Give God thanks for such things. When you read the chapters, especially the first 9 chapters of I Chronicles and get bored with all the 'begats', remember this, such past generations made us. You cannot get to the present without the past.
They are building blocks that reveal the truth of our present establishment. And God knows all the family names, the family lines and many times over in scripture they are revealed. Cherish and count it all joy that you came forth from your mother. And as well, this is a spiritual truth. WE being dead in trespasses and sins, God gave His children life. Being dead, we now live in Him and for Him. We came forth from His mercy, grace and redemptive blood. Naked shall he return to go as he came - word study, go; word study, come; The reality of our living and dying. Naked was we born and naked we return. Dust and ashes were our foundation, quickening by the Spirit of life in God; and when the Spirit goes back to God Who gave it, the physical body of flesh returns to dust as it was.
