But when the king came in to meet the guests, he noticed a man who wasn't wearing the proper clothes for a wedding. Matthew 22:11
When I contemplate freewill, I am fear-struck. Freewill disrobed Adam and Eve, reducing their wardrobe from the royal robes of righteousness ...
to fig leaves, which barely covered them.
But Adam and Eve chose to suit themselves.
When King David refused to wear the armor of
King Saul ...
and fought against Goliath in his tried and true shepherd’s uniform, he defeated Goliath without any earthy protection.
David chose to suit himself
When David brought the Ark of God into Jerusalem, he dressed himself in
priestly clothing.
David understood how to suit himself to please the Lord.
David danced before the Lord with all his might. And David was wearing a linen ephod. 2 Sam 6:14
We are instructed in the Bible to put on the full armor of God:
Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put
on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all
strategies of the devil. For
we are
not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities
of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this world, and against evil
spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore,
put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in
the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand
your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s
righteousness. For
shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully
prepared. In
addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows
of the devil. Put
on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the
word of God.
Ephesians 6:10-18 (NLT)
We can learn from Isaiah 61:10 that God still wants to dress us up.
I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my
God for He has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a
robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom dressed for his wedding or
a bride with her jewels.
Because of freewill, we can choose to suit
ourselves.
Are the full armor of God and a royal robe of
righteousness among your choices?
In Revelation 19:8 we read, It was given to
her to clothe herself in fine linen,
bright and clean.
Job testifies in chapter 29:14, "I put on
righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban."
Jesus also
told them other parables. He said, "The Kingdom of Heaven can be
illustrated by the story of a king who prepared a great wedding feast for his
son. When the
banquet was ready, he sent his servants to notify those who were invited. But
they all refused to come! So he sent other servants to tell
them, The feast has been prepared. The bulls and fattened cattle have been
killed, and everything is ready. Come to the banquet! But the guests he had invited
ignored them and went their own way, one to his farm, another to his business. Others
seized his messengers and insulted them and killed them. The king was furious, and he sent
out his army to destroy the murderers and burn their town. And he said to his servants, The
wedding feast is ready, and the guests I invited aren't worthy of the honor. Now go out
to the street corners and invite everyone you see. So the servants brought in
everyone they could find, good and bad alike, and the banquet hall was filled
with guests. But when the king came in to meet
the guests, he noticed a man who wasn't wearing the proper clothes for a
wedding. Friend, he
asked, how is it that you are here without wedding clothes? But the man had
no reply. Then the
king said to his aides, Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer
darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are
chosen." Matthew 22
Be
ready to do this whether or not the time is convenient. 2 Timothy 4:2

YES! I believe you are definitely covered. Your undergarments ARE unique in that they change in color from red like crimson to white as snow with one wave of God's cleansing wand. You wouldn't want to leave home without them. :)
