What does the Bible say about wise and foolish virgins?

Answered in 1 source

In Matthew 25:1-13, Jesus teaches that within the visible church, there are both wise and foolish, representing true believers and those without genuine faith.

In the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, Jesus illustrates the state of His Kingdom prior to His second coming. In Matthew 25:1-13, He tells of ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom, where five are wise and five are foolish. The wise virgins have prepared with oil for their lamps, symbolizing the life and love of Christ, while the foolish are devoid of the Holy Spirit, representing empty professions of faith. This parable serves as a warning that outward appearances of faith do not guarantee genuine salvation; only those filled with the Spirit will be ready when the bridegroom comes.
