Call to Worship: Robes of Righteousness














The following is our call to worship on Sunday, April 11, 2010. Sometimes we put a lot of emphasis on what we wear to church. But more important than your physical clothes are your spiritual clothes. We gather to worship Christ in our Robes of Righteousness.

We read in Isaiah 61:10, “I 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.”

If you are saved, you are the Bride of Christ. You are robed in His righteousness! God says to all those who come to Christ in faith, “Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet” (Luke 15:22). Paul says that we are to “put…on the Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 13:14).

Let us worship together with our white robes saints of God. There’s coming a day John says when all saints will all be gathered together in heaven. He says, “I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes” (Revelation 7:9).

We are clean today because of Jesus blood. We have His righteousness. We are holy because He is holy. Let us worship and adore Him who has cleansed our hearts and souls today.
