| Revelation 3:17-18 17 Because you say, 'I am rich and increased with possessions, and am in need of nothing;' and do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked,5 [From the Word of the Lord within: "I work with the blind; but if you think you can see, and you are not with me in heaven, I will make you a laughingstock."] 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined and tried in the fire, so that you may be rich; and white garments, so that you may be clothed and the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, so that you may see. [Gold refined and tried in the fire is faith that has been tested and tried by fire: trials, suffering, and tribulations are all part of the cross that every believer must endure in order to enter the kingdom; then you are clothed white with purity, and you see by the light of God.] | Revelation 19:7-8 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints." | Job 29:14-17 14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my judgment was like a robe and a turban. 15 I was eyes to the blind, and I was feet to the lame. 16 I was a father to the poor; and I searched out the cause that I did not know. 17 And I broke the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the prey out of his teeth. | Isaiah 61:10 10 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, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. | ||||||
