THE KINGDOM OF GOD, RIGHTEOUSNESS ACTS, FAITH, AND WORKS

Read this Parable that Jesus gave about the kingdom of God: Matthew 22:1-14.
The King is God, the Son is Jesus and the servants are the prophets. The former invited guests are Israel, and the later guests represent the Gentiles.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. Romans 10:1-3. NKJV. This was Israel's problem.

But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousness are as filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away. Isaiah 64:6 NKJV. This is what righteousness is compared too.

"Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Revelation 19:7-8. NKJV Will we be allowed at the wedding of the Lamb (Jesus)? We have to have righteous acts (works) as well as faith.
