there is an idea that if you go to heaven you either get a robe of righteousness or a garment of salvation.?

Question

where does this idea come from.

Answer 1

Isaiah 61:10

NIV
I delight greatly in the LORD;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

KJV
10I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels

Answer 2

"And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a WEDDING GARMET? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen." -- Matthew 22:11-14 (Bold text emphasis mine)

We need to put on the white wedding garment of Christ's righteousness before we enter the wedding feast, lest we cannot enter the banquet without it on. Those only, who put on the Lord Jesus, who have a Christian temper of mind, who live by faith in Christ, have the white wedding garment on. No man has the wedding garment by nature, or can form it for himself. The white wedding garment of Christ's righteousness must be imputed upon us, through the sanctification of the Holy Spirit, for we alone are not righteous or "spotless"enough to enter the wedding banquet on our own.

Answer 3

From the idea that Heaven is a separate place, not within you. Heaven is only a respite for reaping good Karma yet all who stop at the Heaven must return here. Your true abode is beyond the Heaven!

Answer 4

Someone made it up. There are many ideas Christians hold dear that have no Biblical basis. Like the story of Satan's war on heaven and fall (that's not prophetic) and the idea that there will be an Antichrist.

Answer 5

No need for any outfits, because, your energy body, not physical body, goes after the death of your physical body. But, if you let the enegy body goes now while you're alive on earth, you can get designs, any colors, any materials of robes.

Heaven, or hell, is the story of the changing of energy body's matrix parameter set that manifests the appearance, metabolity, mobility, and the boomerang effects to life (the Soul/ primordial or defualt parameter set/ field of moving energy).

Maybe, younger generations have to learn to focus on co-manifesting heaven on earth -- for God is for the alive.

Answer 6

I think you may be thinking of Ephesians 6, which speaks of the armor of God? Helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, etc.? Those verses are speaking of what to "equip" ourselves with to "battle" evil forces in the world.

In heaven, the bible says, when we see Jesus we shall "be like Him". So, finally, this weak and sinful flesh will be no more.

Answer 7

I've heard something about the robe. What I heard is, is that the more good you have done in your lifetime, the longer and more jeweled it will be. Supposed to be somewhere in the Bible.

Answer 8

No where. According to Jesus and the parable of the workers in the vineyard, all believers are going to get the same reward--whether we work for a long time, or short.

Answer 9

I can only deal with one virgin at a time, let alone 72 of them. Give me a chateau with an 18 hole golf course and I'll be set.

Answer 10

no clue!
