    Amen to that which I bolded. God delivers the soul of a lost person from the clutches of satan, cleanses the soul with the blood, and they are made alive in Christ Jesus the Lord. This is what is referred to as the "wedding garment".
    If you don't have the "wedding garment" on before you leave, you won't pick it up "at the door". You either have it on now, or you don't.


    Here is an example where someone came to the king, and eventhough they were at the marriage supper, they did not have on the "wedding garment". And he was bound hand and foot and cast out into outer darkness. When we are saved, we get this "wedding garment", and have received eternal life.



    When the son came back, the father dressed him from head-to-toe. This right here is an example of the wedding garment.



    Here's another example of God clothing us, making us able to do battle against satan and his minions. When God saves us, He dresses us "to the nines".

    Timely or not the point is there is no Salvation with out our submission
    to the righteousness of God. In other words; We must surrender our lives to God's ultimate control. This is the type of trusting faith one must have to be saved. He doesn't want part of our attention He wants all of it. God is desirous of a commitment from man. A free choice ( "because of our Love for Him" )commitment in our surrender to Him. Very much like a marriage commitment. As the bride of Christ we are betroth to Christ.

    In Matt 22, it is talking about a marriage supper. Jesus is the husband of the church that he set up which is his bride. Those that do not profess their understanding of the truth of the gospel and are depending upon their own good works for eternal salvation, do not have on the wedding garment, which is the imputed righteousness of Christ and not their own righteousness, are not allowed to be a part of the church, his bride. Matt 7:13-14 is talking about the same things by the example of the two gates. Also Paul is warning Israel, the elect, about the same thing in Rom 10.

    The account in Luke 15 is telling us that once we are predestined to be addopted as children by Christ that we will always be his child, even when we stray from him and lust after the things of the world. God rejoices over one of his sheep that come back to the fold. He will leave the 99 and seek to save the one sheep, which is a timely salvation, as the one lost in the world was already his sheep, child. Eph 6, God is telling his elect that they should put on the armor of God to battle satan. The same example is made in the scripture that says, "study to show yourselves approved, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
