Keep your White Garment.

White RAIMENT

Isa 61:10

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.

For you to understand the seriousness of the message delivered to the Ladocieans, you have to understand what the white raiment metaphor means. Our garments are actually our salvation. When God tells you that you are walking naked it means you are in a backslidden state. God does not give us garments that are dirty, wrinkled, or stained; if they have become that way, then we have allowed them to by our actions. Everyone that is in Christ has a garment because we put on salvation and received white garments. When we sin we stain our garments, and some stains are harder to get out than others. No one can take your garment off - but you can.

Rev 16:15

15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

KJV

Do not allow anyone to deceive you into thinking because you confessed Christ you cannot lose your garment. The warning in revelation above shows it is our responsibility to KEEP OUR GARMENT. There are many false teachings going around stating that you cannot lose your salvation but as I have shown, your salvation is your garment, and if you are walking naked, you have lost it. No one is going to be accepted at wedding feast walking naked, no one!

Matt 22:11-14

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

KJV

You receive your wedding garment free; you do not earn it, Christ paid the price for it. However, it is your responsibility to keep it. When you put on Christ (garment), you have to walk in Christ, which means to follow His doctrine of truth, also known as the Law of Liberty. You keep your garment on and keep it clean and unstained by obeying the doctrine of Christ that was given to Him by the Father and taught to us by Him and the apostles. If you allow yourself to be deceived into thinking you can walk before God naked, exposing your shame and make it into the kingdom, you are only deceiving yourself.
