How does the bride of Christ make herself ready?

Answered in 1 source

The bride of Christ makes herself ready by being clothed in the righteousness of Christ, acknowledging that it is granted to her.

In Revelation 19:8, it is stated that to the bride was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright. This fine linen represents the righteousness of the saints, which is not their own but is provided by Christ. The preparation involves a humbling acknowledgment of one's inability to attain righteousness and a faith-filled acceptance of the righteousness that comes by grace through faith. As the Church, the bride prepares not by her own merits but by embracing the righteousness of Christ, which beautifies and sanctifies her for the wedding feast.
