Waiting For Our Wedding By Dennis Huebshman

Well-known
Revelation 19:6-9; “Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out; ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord Our God the Almighty reigns. (7) Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory; for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready; (8) it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure’ for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the Saints. (9) And the angel said to me; ‘Write this; Blessed are those who are invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb’. And he said to me; ‘These are the true words of God’.” (ESV – all emphasis is mine)

All who have received and accepted Jesus as their Savior, and have had the Holy Spirit come to live within them, are officially betrothed to the “Lamb of God”. As such, we need to live to honor our Savior as the One who has paid a dowry of living a pure sinless life, and having done so, His pure blood sacrifice at Calvary was more than enough to cover our sin debt to our Heavenly Father, by which we can live with Him forever in Paradise.

As His bride, we need to be ready when the time arrives that the Bridegroom comes for His bride. Does this mean we will live pure sinless lives before His arrival, whenever that will be?

Hardly. It’s our sin-filled blood nature that we inherited from our first parents in the Garden of Eden that will keep us imperfect as long as we’re in these imperfect human bodies.
