Jesus Himself Prepared the Robe of Righteousness for the Heavenly People to Wear ㅡ

 “When the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?” (Matthew 22:11, 12).

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....

But when sin entered, they severed their connection with God, and the light that had encircled them departed....

Nothing can man devise to supply the place of his lost robe of innocence....

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....

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.

 (Maranatha 78)
