The Parable of the Ten Virgins is an accurate picture of the Church today. "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins..." [Matt.25:1] The Lord said, "...Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." [Matt 3:2] These words are for us. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." [Matt.7:21] These words again are for us. Of the ten virgins we read that, "...five of them were wise, and five were foolish." [Matt.25:2]
The wise, who have oil, are those who hear what the Lord says in His Word and do it. While the foolish hear the very same Word and do not do it. Hearing the Word and NOT doing it, is what it means to NOT have oil! "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man..." [Matt.7:24] "And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man..." [Matt.7:26] The very thought of being responsible for what they do or do not do, scares many Christians! They don't want to take responsibility for there actions. They want to believe without doing! This is what demons do! "...demons believe - and tremble." [James 2:19]
The truth is: godly believing is doing. While devilish believing is knowing without doing! "Faith without works is dead..." [James 2:20] "...a man is justified by works, and not by faith only." [James 2:24] Some have chosen to twist Paul's letters to come up with a doctrine that absolves them from any responsibility for their works. "...the dead were judged according to their works..." [Rev.20:12] Do we really believe that God will judge to hell the spiritually dead for their works and not us who claim to have eternal life? If we have eternal life we will produce works. Our works are the tangible evidence that we have eternal life now, that the Holy Spirit is working in us, that we have oil, and that we are wise.
