She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.
This phrase refers to the Bride of Christ, symbolizing the Church. The "fine linen" represents purity and righteousness, often associated with priestly garments in the Old Testament (Exodus 28:39-43). The brightness and purity of the linen emphasize the holiness and sanctity expected of the Church. In ancient times, fine linen was a luxury, signifying wealth and status, which here symbolizes the spiritual richness and honor bestowed upon the Church by Christ. The imagery of clothing is also used inIsaiah 61:10, where garments of salvation and a robe of righteousness are mentioned, highlighting the transformation and sanctification of believers.

For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.
This part of the verse clarifies that the fine linen represents the righteous deeds of believers. It underscores the importance of living a life that reflects one's faith, as seen inJames 2:17, which states that faith without works is dead. The "righteous acts" are not the means of salvation but the evidence of a transformed life in Christ. This aligns withEphesians 2:10, which speaks of believers being created for good works. The saints' righteous acts are a response to God's grace, illustrating the cooperative relationship between divine sovereignty and human responsibility in the life of a believer.

The Church is called to prepare for the marriage of the Lamb by living in holiness and purity. This involves both individual and collective commitment to God's standards.

Symbolism of Clothing in Scripture
Clothing often symbolizes one's spiritual state. Just as the bride is given fine linen, believers are called to "put on" Christ and His righteousness in their daily lives.

Eternal Perspective
The marriage of the Lamb is a future event that should influence how believers live today. Keeping an eternal perspective helps maintain focus on living a life that honors God.

What Does Revelation 19:8 Mean
She was given

• The verb “was given” underscores that the Bride (the redeemed people of God) receives her adornment as a gracious gift, not as self-procured reward (Ephesians 2:8-9;Revelation 3:5).

•Revelation 6:11 and 7:14 show similar divine bestowal: “They were each given a white robe… they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb”.

• Grace initiates and completes salvation; the Bride simply receives what Christ provides (John 3:27;Romans 3:24).

Clothing of fine linen

• Fine linen in Scripture marks priestly dignity and royal honor (Exodus 28:39-43;Esther 8:15).

•Revelation 19:14 pictures “the armies of heaven… wearing fine linen, white and pure”, tying the Bride’s attire to the victorious host that follows the Lamb.

• Literal, tangible garments will clothe the saints in the marriage supper scene, testifying to their new, exalted status (Isaiah 61:10).

Bright and pure

• “Bright” signals radiance; “pure” declares total cleansing.Daniel 12:3 promises, “Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens,” a promise fulfilled here.

• Jesus foretold, “The righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father” (Matthew 13:43).

• Christ’s goal is “to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish” (Ephesians 5:27). The brightness and purity prove He has finished that work.

The fine linen… is the righteous acts of the saints

• Scripture explicitly interprets the symbol: the garment equals “the righteous acts.” Works do not earn salvation, yet they do clothe the redeemed in glory (Revelation 22:12;1 Corinthians 3:14).

•Philippians 2:12-13 balances human obedience with divine enablement: “for it is God who works in you to will and to act.”

•James 2:17 reminds that genuine faith produces action, whileRevelation 14:13 promises, “their deeds will follow them.”

• Thus the Bride’s linen displays the Spirit-empowered obedience of believers—evidence of grace made visible.

summary

Revelation 19:8 depicts the Church, graciously adorned by God, standing in garments of priestly, royal splendor. The fine linen—radiant and spotless—both given by Christ and woven from Spirit-guided deeds, testifies that salvation is by grace and that grace produces a life of tangible righteousness, ready for the marriage supper of the Lamb.

(8)And to her wasgranted . . .--Better,And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright, pure; for the fine linen is the righteousness (or,righteousnesses; the word is plural)of the saints. This verse is not to be taken as part of the song. The song closes with the announcement that the Lamb's wife has made herself ready. Then follows the explanation of this readiness: she is adorned in fine linen. Her apparel is in contrast to the harlot: it is not purple and scarlet (Revelation 17:4;Revelation 18:16), but pure white. The symbol is explained: "the fine linen is the righteousness (or,righteousnesses) of the saints." The raiment is that which strikes the eye: it has its character, and it indicates the character of the wearer. The harlot attracts by ostentatious colours, the tokens of qualities more conspicuous than abiding, more dazzling than helpful; the Lamb's wife is robed in pure and stainless white, the token of those high, moral, spiritual qualities by which she has been known. The source of these righteousnesses is divine: it is given to her to be so arrayed. It is no fictitious righteousness: it is real, it is hers, though it would never have been hers but for Him without whom she can do nothing (comp.John 15:4-5, andPhilippians 3:8-10): and it is through the wearing of this white flower of a blameless life that she has borne witness for her Lord, and against the spirit of harlotry and sin (Matthew 7:16-18).

Verse 8. -And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white;and it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and]pure. The double nature of the process is here set forth. "It was given her," the power comes from God (cf.Revelation 13:5, etc.), and yet "she arrays herself;" the action is still voluntary. (On "white linen," see on Revelation 4:4; 7:9; 15:6.) The following words are a sufficient commentary. This verse appears to contain the words of the writer, the heavenly song having ceased at the end of ver. 7.For the fine linen is the righteousness of saints;the righteous acts of the saints. That is, their former righteousness, exhibited in fidelity to God and hostility to the world, obtained and retained by the grace of God, now forms their chief glory. So "their works do follow them" (Revelation 14:13).
