Parable of the Ten Virgins

Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, "Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!" Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, "Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out." But the wise answered, saying, "What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves." While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, "Lord, Lord, open to us." But he answered, "Most certainly I tell you, I don't know you." Watch therefore, for you don't know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. - Jesus Christ
— Matthew 25:1-13

Discussion:
The message here is clear. Be prepared. Do not forget to bring the oil for your lamp while keeping watch for the Lord. But what does this mean? It simply means to prepare spiritually at all times as if the Lord could come at any moment. It means you should be blameless by asking forgiveness and doing all the things required of you by God. This is putting on the robe of righteousness. I posted the following things yesterday to help you get started so you know where to begin preparing:

Here are some guidelines to get started:
-Follow the 10 commandments and other ones God has told us to obey.
-Love your neighbor and enemies consistently, everyday, and forgive everyone.
-Read the Word and keep it a priority
-Pray continuously
-Feed the poor, care for the orphans, widows, the homeless, and the elderly.
-Build each other up every moment, every day.
-Be the answer to the prayers of those crying out when you see someone struggling.
-I forgot to say yesterday that one must continuously ask for forgiveness as well.
