You Are Invited

Heaven (salvation) The Wedding Supper.

GOD is simultaneously all inclusive and certain exclusive.

He has sent and continues to send His invitation to ALL to come to His Heaven. Everyone is invited. And included with His invitation is (clothing) The Garment He purchased and packaged specifically and precisely for the event for each Invitee.
Therefore, Any One attempting to gain admittance without the wearing of  The King’s Garment will be turned away. No admittance. No exceptions.
Got it?

What do you mean it’s not fair?
What do you mean, you want to wear clothes of your own choosing?
You do.
And we do every day that we refuse to believe GOD.

You see we don’t get to choose what is sin and what is not sin. To do so is man proclaiming himself to be GOD.
And no man (or woman or child) persisting in proclaiming himself (herself) to be god will enter The Kingdom of GOD (Heaven).
It’s as simple and inclusive and exclusive as that.

 Revelation 22: 16 I, Yeshua, have sent My angel to testify these things to you for My communities. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

17 The Ruach and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come—let the one who wishes freely take the water of life!  source

11 God is a righteous judge,
And a God who is indignant every day.

And we often think He pays no mind; that He overlooks the rampant, unending evil done one against another every day.  

12 If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword;
He has strung and bent His [mighty] bow and made it ready.
13 He has also prepared [other] deadly weapons for Himself;
He makes His arrows fiery shafts [aimed at the unrepentant].

This is not the GOD we like to present these days. We present a GOD that is grandfatherly; one that closes His eyes and says oh that’s okay, no repentance is necessary, everyone is welcome.  
Everyone is welcome, welcome to repent and live. 

14 Behold, the [wicked and irreverent] man is pregnant with sin,
And he conceives mischief and gives birth to lies.

Commentary will be limited here – look around. See. 

15 He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has fallen into the [very] pit which he made [as a trap].
16 His mischief will return on his own head,
And his violence will come down on the top of his head [like loose dirt].

This is inevitable for those who do not repent. It’s not what GOD wants but unbending, unrepentant, obstinate mankind leaves Him no choice but to allow sin to complete its work. 

17 I will give thanks to the Lord according to His righteousness and justice,
And I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.   source

But the saved. We have every reason to give thanks and rejoice, even while we pray for others. We rejoice not at their destination or destiny but we are certainly grateful for our own in JESUS THE CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort,
4 who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 For just as Christ’s sufferings are ours in abundance [as they overflow to His followers], so also our comfort [our reassurance, our encouragement, our consolation] is abundant through Christ [it is truly more than enough to endure what we must].  source

Here’s the thinking train: The Father loves us as much as He loves JESUS and He let JESUS suffer. 
He loves us, we have to know He will allow us to suffer too; I am confident though we will never be allowed to suffer to the extent that JESUS did, nor could we. All our suffering has a purpose – to save us from ourselves and perhaps help those we love or even needy strangers to see JESUS for themselves. All that JESUS suffered had a purpose – again, it was us; to save us from hell – eternal death. 

BUT. The Father also comforted JESUS and He comforts us. Read our verses again. 
If you recall Matthew 4, you know JESUS was so comforted that angels actually came and physically attended Him.
He had been forty days in the wilderness where satan tried with everything he had and still failed to distract Him, discourage Him, dissuade Him, or in any wise defeat Him. The Father allowed that!
BUT when the work was done. Comfort came!  The angels came and ministered to Him. I am imagining they came with food and water and Word from the Father.
Comfort comes in proportion to the suffering.
