 Jesus Wants Us Now to Put On the Robe of Righteousness That He Is Imparting to Us ㅡ

 “And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.” (Matthew 25:10)

 Now is the time to put on the righteousness of Christ—the wedding garment that will fit you to enter into the marriage supper of the Lamb.

 In the parable, the foolish virgins are represented as begging for oil and failing to receive it at their request.

 This is symbolic of those who have not prepared themselves by developing a character to stand in a time of crisis.

 It is as if they should go to their neighbors and say, “Give me your character or I shall be lost.” Those that were wise could not impart their oil to the flickering lamps of the foolish virgins.

 Character is not transferable. It is not to be bought or sold; it is to be acquired.

 The Lord has given to every individual an opportunity to obtain a righteous character ..., but He has not provided a way by which one human agent may impart to another the character which he has developed.

 The day is coming, and it is close upon us, when every phase of character will be revealed by special temptation.

 Those who remain true to principle, who exercise faith to the end, will be those who have proved true under test and trial during the previous hours of their probation, and have formed characters after the likeness of Christ.

 It will be those who have cultivated close acquaintance with Christ who, through His wisdom and grace, are partakers of the divine nature.

 But no human being can give to another, heart devotion and noble qualities of mind, and supply his deficiencies with moral power.

 Let no one put off the day of preparation, lest the call be made, “Go forth to meet the bridegroom,”(Matthew 25:6) and you be found as were the foolish virgins, with no oil in your vessels with your lamps.
