What does it mean to have the wedding garment in the Gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The wedding garment symbolizes the righteousness of Christ, essential for acceptance in God's kingdom.

In the context of the parable, the wedding garment represents the righteousness that believers must possess to stand before God. It is indicative of true faith in Christ and signifies the transformative act of God in sanctifying the believer. When the king examines the guests and discovers a man without the proper attire, it highlights the necessity of being clothed in Christ's righteousness. This serves as a somber reminder that mere outward appearances and claims of faith are insufficient; true faith results in genuine transformation, ensuring one is ready for the eternal feast in heaven.
