Buy of Christ- White Raiment

Buy of Christ-

WHITE RAIMENT

Rev 3:17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Rev 3:18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Yesterday we talked about the gold tried in fire, and truly we need from our Savior the very things that save us- FAITH and LOVE.  Our SAVIOR SAVES us, we do NOT save ourselves. We must BUY of CHRIST, He alone can give us what we need!

4. The White Raiment- 

Isa 64:6  But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

OUR righteousnesses are FILTHY RAGS.

Zec 3:3  Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.

Zec 3:4  And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

Zec 3:5  And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.

We are CLOTHED BY CHRIST!  Christ alone has the clothing we need! Christ alone can give us freely the white raiment.  We are clothed in filthy rags! We have NO righteousness of our own, NONE!  In the beginning our first parents were clothed in the light of God's righteousness. It was ONLY after they'd sin that they lost that clothing of God's light, God's righteousness and became naked. Only through buying of Christ the white raiment can we HOPE to be clothed once more in HIS righteousness, our filthy rags stripped from us and replaced by Christ!

Rev 19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Rev 19:8  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Please Father in heaven, please, we would be arrayed in the righteousness of Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord! Please, we would buy of Him the white raiment!
