What does the Bible say about the wedding garment in Matthew 22?

Answered in 7 sources

The wedding garment symbolizes the necessary righteousness one must have to stand before God, which is provided by Christ alone.

In the parable from Matthew 22, the wedding garment represents the righteousness that is required for acceptance before a holy God. This righteousness is not something we can achieve through our own efforts; rather, it is the perfect righteousness of Christ that is granted to those who come to Him in faith. As Isaiah 61:10 states, God delights in clothing us with the garments of salvation and covering us with the robe of righteousness. Ultimately, it is through God's grace and the imputed righteousness of Christ that believers are made acceptable in His sight.
