Wedding garment
"And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen." Matthew 22:11 -14
The wedding clothes or garment was provided by the host but had to be put on by the guest.
Augustine of Hippo said the garment was symbolizing charity but Martin Luther suggested that the garment represented Christ. But what would that look like to put on Christ?
John Calvin says it is faith and good works[1] because James repeatedly emphasized that faith without works is dead.[2]

Footnotes
- ↑ As to the wedding garment, is it faith, or is it a holy life? This is a useless controversy; for faith cannot be separated from good works, nor do good works proceed from any other source than from faith. Christ intended only to state that the Lord calls us on the express condition of our being renewed by the Spirit ... and that, in order to our remaining permanently in his house, we must put off the old man with his pollutions ... and lead a new life. Commentary vol.2
- ↑ James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
- James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
