God’s throwing a cosmic wedding bash, and he wants the world to come. His only requirement for entry is not our behavior, but simply receiving his mercy, being washed in the blood of the Lamb, and letting him freely clothe us in his righteousness.8 God doesn’t want the cosmic celebration spoiled, so he confronts the marriage-rejecters who don’t take the invitation seriously and the wedding crashers who try to bring their sin in with them. God takes the wedding seriously because he loves the world that his wedding reconciles.
