Jesus CHrist is the source of salvation to those who obey.
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect,
he became the source of eternal salvation
to all who obey him, ESV
Salvation is not totaly realized until the end as the bride must be faithful. It is a judgment by deeds!
Mat 22:1 And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying,
Mat 22:2 "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son,
Mat 22:3 and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but
they would not come.
Mat 22:4 Again he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.'
Mat 22:5 But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business,
Mat 22:6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
Mat 22:7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
Mat 22:8 Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding feast is ready, but those invited
were not worthy.
Mat 22:9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as
many as you find.'
Mat 22:10 And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.
Mat 22:11 "But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man
who had no wedding garment.
Mat 22:12 And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.
Mat 22:13 Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Mat 22:14 For many are
called, but few are chosen."
Rev 19:7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride
has made herself ready;
Rev 19:8 it was
granted her to
clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure"-- for the fine linen is the
righteous deeds of the saints.
Mat 10:38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
