What did God's clothing of Adam accomplish?
Because Adam believed what God said, God's clothing of Adam provided a physical covering and a spiritual garment that hid the old Adam, so he received the imputed righteousness of God. It pictured the same imputed righteousness later called the garments of salvation.
Les explains that when God clothed Adam, the blood had been shed from sacrificial animals because Adam had the ability to believe what God said. God not only covered their physical body, but He clothed them with a spiritual garment that hid old Adam, so he now had the imputed righteousness of the righteousness of God. Les connects this to Isaiah 61:10, where the prophet rejoices because God clothed him with the garments of salvation, and to Romans 3, teaching that when God clothed Adam, when He clothed Isaiah, and when He clothes a believer, it is all the same thing: the imputed righteousness of God.
