Bible Note: Atonement means reconciliation. That means that Christ's blood acutally reconciled us to God--His blood made us "at one" with God. Christ said specifically that He gave His sheep eternal life and they shall never perish. Did the five foolish virgins make it in, you ask? Not to the wedding, but, there is no mention of them not making it to Heaven and there is no mention of them being eternally separated from. Christ, because of they're actions, didn't choose them to be in His bride. But, they were, nevertheless, virgins. This signifies that they'd been washed. Notice, when the Bridegroom called, all of the virgins arose. At the sounding of the trumpet, no lost will arise. I realize this is not the general teaching of this parable, but, there are too many unanswered questions if you think these virgins were lost. They simply were not members of the Bride of Christ which we all should be striving for. God bless. |
