“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation …” (Isaiah 61:10)
“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” (Revelation 19:7)
I was explaining salvation and sin to someone the other day. God the father is perfect, he cannot look upon sin. It says this in the book of Habakkuk Chapter 1 Verse 13: “Pure are your eyes and they see no evil and you cannot look at evil …” Man is now born into sin, due to the fall of Adam and Eve. It is in our DNA due to our ancestors, Adam and Eve, listening to the devil and his lies in Eden.
Jesus is the sacrificial lamb of God, referred to as the only begotten son of God who would become that sacrificial lamb shedding his blood to cover us from our sins so we will be seen as pure and without spot or wrinkle in the sight of God the Father when entering heaven. Yes, everyone is a sinner. All have sinned and fallen short of, the Glory of GOD. The only reason we can go to heaven is due to Christ and his sacrifice upon the cross. When God, the Father looks at us through the veil of Jesus he sees us a clean and perfect; without Jesus we are still unclean and destined for hell.
How do you receive this clean and perfect veil covering you from the wrath of God? By believing in Jesus Christ that he was born the only begotten son of God; born of a virgin and that he died upon the cross to cover the sins of the world. You believe and accept this and therefore accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. At that moment, in the twinkling of an eye, he gives you than the seal of the holy spirt upon your head and in your heart to lead and guide you into the path of righteousness.
Glory to God and by His Grace, through Faith, we are forever righteous in the sight of the Lord. We ought now then, keep our garments clean from the sin, (dirt) of this world. We must wash our robes daily, repent and renew ourselves from the anti-god spirit in this world. We then present ourselves to God, as living sacrifices, holy, acceptable unto God. Holy lives, not superior, not haughty, not an “I am better than you” life, but a holy clean life by the Word of God, which is our reasonable service.
