Matthew 25:1-13

Listen to Matthew 25:1-13
1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them;
4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.
5 As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept.
6 But at midnight there was a shout, "Look! Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.'
7 Then all those bridesmaids got up and trimmed their lamps.
8 The foolish said to the wise, "Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
9 But the wise replied, "No! there will not be enough for you and for us; you had better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.'
10 And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet; and the door was shut.
11 Later the other bridesmaids came also, saying, "Lord, lord, open to us.'
12 But he replied, "Truly I tell you, I do not know you.'
13 Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.

You Can’t Borrow Salvation
You Can’t Borrow Salvation
Dr. Jeff Schreve

Salvation isn’t something you can borrow or inherit—it’s personal. In this powerful message from Pastor Jeff Schreve, learn why secondhand faith won’t save anyone. Just as the foolish virgins in Jesus’ parable tried to borrow oil for their lamps, many today try to rely on a parent’s faith, a church background, or religious activity instead of a real relationship with Christ. But when the Bridegroom comes, borrowed faith won’t do. Discover what it truly means to be born again and to have the Holy Spirit living within you.
