What's The Wedding Garment Mentioned in Matthew

[@MJ-nt7od]

One of the hardest thing to learn as Christians is letting go of our self righteousness to earn or prove we are worthy of Christ. But truth is we are not even capable in ourselves or our ability to make anything right. Thankfully Christ bridges that and fulfills it all because He is great and righteous enough for all of us. He is faithful even when we are not.

@@peterkalanzi God gives his blessings to both the good and the bad. Ours is not to judge the good and evil of others but to forgive those who have offended us. If you go to the wedding with resentments in your heart you will be thrown out into the outer darkness of your own making. Christianity is the forgiveness of sins and nothing besides.

@@peterkalanzi It’s in the perspective of human. We judge people by good and bad. Ofc in God’s eye we’re all sinful. Gods invitation goes out to everyone. No matter how bad or good you seem to others, all that matter is whether or not you have worn Christ’s righteousness. That’s why He didn’t throw out the “bad”, because they were no longer in “sin”. The person thrown out was not reborn.

[@levibaer18]

God the Father provides the garment for the elect. Those who do not have the garment, are cast out, and those who are apart of the elect are apart of the church. That’s why it says after casting him out into outer darkness, “for many are called, but few are chosen.” The garment is God’s “choosing”

In the book of Revelation the first three chapters tell us God does judge us by what we do. It says " I know you by your works"

[@ShaDee-m7u]

Yes. Faith without works is dead, and our works on their own, apart from Christ (being a “good” person, having general morality, etc.) have no merit. You can’t go to heaven by being a “good person” Our works also show our faith in the Lord and our love for him (treating people with love, serving God, etc.). Jesus said if we love Him, we’ll keep His commandments. Amen

[@3rd-Samuel]

The garment is a free gift to all who believe....Simple.. The man who tried to come in without it wasnt saved. He tried coming in his own way. Man is addicted to "works". Only by faith in Gods Son Jesus Christ and His precious shed blood on our behalf can we enter. Remember the garden of Eden. They tried to cloth themselves, but God GAVE them garments from an animal. God gives the garments. The garment is Salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

The wedding garment is not free at all. You pay for it with your life. Total surrender to serve just one master. It sounds easy but it is clearly not. Same parable as the rich man. Has nothing to do with money. God wants your LIFE. Simple… Rev 3:14-18 “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! 16 But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! 17 You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. 18 So I advise you to buy gold from me-gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also BUY WHITE GARMENTS from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see.

[@3rd-Samuel]

Instead of focusing on the garment, which is mentioned later, let us first understand why scripture says ''both bad and good" were invited but only the one without the garment got thrown out? Why were the bad people not thrown out? (Matthew 22: 10)

[@tpsyturvy6987]

Because they had on the garment...Jesus' righteousness!

[@peterkalanzi]

@@tpsyturvy6987 So you can be bad and have Jesus' righteousness? No one had an issue with the bad people.

[@ariseandshine]

Because the bad people accepted the invite, and put on the provided garment.

[@peterkalanzi]

@@ariseandshine Yes, without mentioning if they changed. There is no difference between a saint and a sinner before God, as long as we embody love. Love is the garment. Even the most evil people have some good in them. They could be great people to their families and some even do some charities... unannounced. God will always look at the good in you. Only humans see evil.

[@ariseandshine]

@@peterkalanzi I agree

[@matthayes8631]

Why did all of these pastors make the claim that the bridegroom in this parable GAVE his guests wedding garments? If that were actually the case, than their interpretations would make more sense for this particular passage. But that is just never said in Matthew 22. Makes it seem like they're basically twisting scripture to say what they assume it should mean.

[@jackinsync]

Bcoz that was the custom in that day and age

[@johnbostic4063]

Great explanation

[@normanmcdermid1951]

Where is it written that the king provided the wedding garments?

[@naciamaJYute]

By the wedding garment in the parable is represented the pure, spotless character which Christ's true followers will possess. To the church it is given "that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white," "not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing." Revelation 19:8; Ephesians 5:27. The fine linen, says the Scripture, "is the righteousness of saints." Revelation 19:8. It is the righteousness of Christ, His own unblemished character, that through faith is *imparted* to all who receive Him as their personal Saviour. The white robe of innocence was worn by our first parents when they were placed by God in holy Eden. They lived in perfect conformity to the will of God. All the strength of their affections was given to their heavenly Father. A beautiful soft light, the light of God, enshrouded the holy pair. This robe of light was a symbol of their spiritual garments of heavenly innocence. Had they remained true to God it would ever have continued to enshroud them. But when sin entered, they severed their connection with God, and the light that had encircled them departed. Naked and ashamed, they tried to supply the place of the heavenly garments by sewing together fig leaves for a covering. This is what the transgressors of God's law have done ever since the day of Adam and Eve's disobedience. They have sewed together fig leaves to cover the nakedness caused by transgression. They have worn the garments of their own devising, by works of their own they have tried to cover their sins, and make themselves acceptable with God. But this they can never do. Nothing can man devise to supply the place of his lost robe of innocence. No fig-leaf garment, no worldly citizen dress, can be worn by those who sit down with Christ and angels at the marriage supper of the Lamb. Only the covering which Christ Himself has provided can make us meet to appear in God's presence. This covering, the robe of His own righteousness, Christ will put upon every repenting, believing soul. "I counsel thee," He says, "to buy of Me ... white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear." Revelation 3:18. This robe, woven in the loom of heaven, has in it not one thread of human devising. Christ in His humanity wrought out a perfect character, and this character He offers to impart to us. "All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags." Isaiah 64:6. Everything that we of ourselves can do is defiled by sin. But the Son of God "was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin." Sin is defined to be "the transgression of the law." 1 John 3:5, 4. But Christ was obedient to every requirement of the law. He said of Himself, "I delight to do Thy will, O My God; yea, Thy law is within My heart." Psalm 40:8. When on earth, He said to His disciples, "I have kept My Father's commandments." John 15:10. By His perfect obedience He has made it possible for every human being to obey God's commandments. When we submit ourselves to Christ, the heart is united with His heart, the will is merged in His will, the mind becomes one with His mind, the thoughts are brought into captivity to Him; we live His life. This is what it means to be clothed with the garment of His righteousness. Then as the Lord looks upon us He sees, not the fig-leaf garment, not the nakedness and deformity of sin, but His own robe of righteousness, which is perfect obedience to the law of Jehovah COL 310.3 - COL 311.4

[@carlharmeling512]

The garment is the forgiveness of sins and that is the righteousness of Christ. ‘’If you forgive others then you will be forgiven if you don’t forgive others God will not forgive you.” That is the word of Christ. That is how the prostitutes and publicans will enter the Kingdom, the Wedding of man with God, before those who are righteous in their own eyes. That is Grace and nothing besides.

[@normanmcdermid1951]

Oh OK,I need to apologize, it isn't written in scripture, but it comes from the Israeli tradition....that explains the parable. Thank you.

[@craigscoullar564]

[@IshawooaPass]

(passages from The Recognitions of Clement and The Clementine Homilies. Clement was Peter’s traveling companion and scribe who recorded their travels, speeches and details pertaining to the establishing of the early ecclesia’s (churches)): Chapter XXXV. -False Apostles. “…let neither prophet nor apostle be looked for by you at this time, besides us. For there is one true Prophet, whose words we twelve apostles preach; for He is the accepted year of Elohim, having us apostles as His twelve months. But for what reason the world itself was made, or what diversities have occurred in it, and why our Adonai, coming for its restoration, has chosen and sent us twelve apostles, shall be explained more at length at another time. Meantime He has commanded us to go forth to preach, and to invite you to the supper of the heavenly King, which the Father hath prepared for the marriage of His Son, and that we should give you wedding garments, that is, the grace of baptism; which whosoever obtains, as a spotless robe with which he is to enter to the supper of the King, ought to beware that it be not in any part of it stained with sin, and so he be rejected as unworthy and reprobate."
