If Jesus Christ is not your first love, If you have not forsaken all to follow Him, If you have not denied yourself, picked up your cross, kept yourself unspotted, unwrinkled and blameless from the world, are not filled with the Spirit and ready when He comes for you... Then you should not expect to be seated next to Him at the wedding feast.... as His Bride. (the Church is not the Bride - the Bride is called out from the Church)

The Parable of the Guests -
Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place. But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” … Luke 14:9-11
