Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear. (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.) — Revelation 19:8 NIV
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. — Revelation 19:8 KJV
Reflection on Verse for Today
As believers in Christ, this is both an encouragement and a challenge. An Encouragement, because as believers we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ and we are part of His beautiful and radiant bride, the Church. A Challenge because every day offers us opportunities to live out our faith in tangible ways contributing to the “fine linen” with which the bride is adorned.
We need to ensure that our lives echo the purity and brilliance of this linen so we can testify to the transformative grace and love of Jesus Christ.
