SALVATION AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

CLOTHING AND GARMENTS 


Salvation and righteousness are both clothing that are required for the saved.  One cannot go without the other.  When you have received salvation, you must live righteously, and the righteous have salvation.  

Salvation and righteousness will cause you to rejoice greatly, and be joyfully in God for it is He who dresses you with salvation and covers you with righteousness. 

It is described as the dressing of a bridegroom and the adorning of a bride.  
Isaiah 61:10 (KJV)
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Dress in His righteousness, wear your garments and robes happily!

TODAY'S FOCUS: THE BRIDEGROOM AND BRIDE

The scripture above gives you an analogy of dressing up in a suit of salvation and an outfit of righteousness as a bridegroom and a bride.  

Let's imagine how a bridegroom and a bride stand on their wedding day: 
  • A Bridegroom in his Tuxedo
  • Bride with her Jeweled Tiara
Whats spectacular things you see?
What beauty you behold?
What does the analogy show you about salvation and righteousness?

God wants to dress you up in the same beauty and purity that you imagined.  If you would allow Him too, He will clothe you fully in His righteousness and then wrap you with a robe of righteousness. 

This analogy speaks highly of how God wants you to be clothed and covered.  A bridegroom and a bride on their wedding day are happy and well clad.  So likewise you too must be happily clothed and decked in salvation and righteousness.  Know that salvation and righteousness are required of you, but they are not yours nor can you achieve them on your own.  Submit to His adorning and decking.  
 

Remember, let the Lord clothe and cover you.  When you are dressed up in a suit of salvation and outfitted in a robe of righteousness, you will explode in praise from the depth of your soul.  Sing for joy in the Lord as you display your garments 

God Bless you and Keep the Faith!
