I don't know the full answer to your question. But I am going to share with you a few observations.
First, putting on Christ, whose name in Hebrew means salvation, is the picture of being saved. Nakedness is probably a picture of the opposite.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Isaiah 61
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Romans 13
1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5
Also Matthew 22:1-14.
Second, nakedness in Genesis 2 is a different word than in Genesis 3. It is arom (H6174) in G2, and eyrom (H5903) in G3.
- „arom means naked as a state of being, and as such is morally
neutral, meaning that it doesn’t reflect on whether or not this state
of being is a good thing or a bad thing; it just is. An example might
be if a person said that they were naked in the shower this morning;
their having been naked in the shower is just a fact and neither good
nor bad.”
- „eyrom means nakedness or naked, and is used to indicated nakedness
with a sense of danger or threat of harm. Aside from the sense of
danger or of a threat, this too is a simple state of being; morally
neutral. An interesting example of this word is found in the Genesis
3 examples which you will recall are the post-Fall examples of Adam
and Eve. After they had rebelled against God, their “eyes were
opened” and they realized they were naked, so they covered themselves
with leaves sewn together and hid from God. What were they afraid of
why were they ashamed? Were they afraid of their bodies or were they
afraid of what God would do? Were they ashamed of their nakedness, or
were they ashamed of what they had done?"
God did not create them in an evil state. He said that everything He created was good. I think that Adam and Eve being naked show us that God created them with a choice. Would they wait and let God dress them to be fully in His own image, or take from the forbidden tree to make themselves like God/god (elohim)? They did non wait. As a result, they weren't dressed in His light and didn't enter His rest. Instead, being elevated, they were brought a notch down (dressed in animal skins) and exiled.
