What's The Wedding Garment Mentioned in Matthew  

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.

This was such a extremely powerful loving kind faithful Faith are wisdom discussion thank you so very much and bless the holy spirit for guiding me to find you guys the spirit of Truth to bless me thank you so much

Thank you for helping me break down and understand this message. The Holy Spirit put this passage (Matt. 22:1-14) on my heart to preach this week and I was struggling with vv.11-12. Blessings!

This was so good and I Thank y’all for breaking this down. May God Continue to Bless you all in Jesus Christ of Nazareth Name

Praise God for showing me the truth I need in order to be set free, praise God for being willing and patient to gently correct my sins! I therefore bind any evildoer to realize how defiled one is in order to repent while binding one to desire to repent in order to get cleansed of all filth and evil in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with any evildoer not realizing the defilement one is in while lacking a desire to get cleansed of all filth and evil by repentance of one's sins, in accordance with this word and matthew 22:11-14, ephesians 4:31, 1 john 1:9, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤!

Rev 19:7-8 NET Let us rejoice and exult and give him glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. (8) She was permitted to be dressed in bright, clean, fine linen” *(for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints)*.

Great explanation

Glad they Answered this question I was thinking about it reading articles but like a vocal explanation

Lets pray we all have our garment on!

Sorry guys, which verse says that the king is the one who provided the wedding garments to every one.?

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”

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

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"

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.

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

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.

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)

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.

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

Reminds me of Adam and Eve clothing themselves with leaves the God made a garment from sacrificing animal that represents salvation.

If faith without works is dead, then faith with works is real, but only faith saves.

The church is who God takes the bride out of. This parable is about those who are bridal ready ,they were the ones who were in love with Jesus. At the bema seat those who are the bride out of the body of Christ will get a wedding garment of fine linen and robes of righteousness

Those who were bidden to the wedding feast and didnt show up were the christians cux they didnt know it was talking about consciousness but it goes on and on to say go to the highways which is the high realms of consciousness whether good or bad it doesnt matter how bad a person cuz both good and bad operates from the carnal mind which is emnity against the Lord ...

This is awesome, the Calvinist try to us this to prove election.

The garment is participaring in the sacramental life of tge church, as God decreed 7 sacraments

waw maybe maybe we can do a discussion on our show.

The wedding garment is the righteous rule of law that is the rule of law for the nation as given by Moses

Please o' man of GOD *" next time just ask your GOD man' instead of doing your research for GOD is powerful, HE reveal to HIS anointed with all the supplies. Praise GOD alone in JESUS Mighty Name Amen

(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."

There is only one plan of salvation

The King = God, Son = Jesus, first group = jews, second group = gentiles grafted in.

My pastor’s sermon today said that the man without a wedding robe and who was cast out of the wedding was Jesus. I found that disturbing.

I also believe that the garment represents your talents and calling.. Jesus says only those who do the will of the Father will enter into the Kingdom.. you can profess Jesus all day long but if you don't do what your called to do (wear your garments) then you will not be worthy of the Wedding Feast

Jesus Peace be upon him, he clearly says to you, worship the Father, the Lord. I do not understand why you worship him, he is a prophet. May God guide you to the right path

The wedding garment is the principle of the rule of law Cuz that's what America stands for

Please don’t have jokes with our Father. I am sad with you.
