- - - - Being born into a religion simply isn't a thing in scripture
      - Coming to church every Sunday to get topped up with oil probably won't be enough
      - Really long prayers aren't extra oil
      - going to all the prayer meetings isn't oil
      - Nothing can replace your personal intamacy with Jesus
    - - 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you
        
        You could propjhesy, cast out demons, serve tea and coffee, preach, attend groups, attend sundays every week, join welcome team, serve on kids, make tea and coffee, give your tithe, feed the homeless. EVEN come to church every week singing loud, hands in the air tears streaming down your face but only you will know if you are truly intimate with the Lord
      - 26 Then you will say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ 27 And he will reply, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.’
    - - The "extra oil" is built daily, not bought in a panic.
  - - - There's always more oil
      - Constant growth and intamacy

      - Spouse
      - The people I say hey to in the street don't know me like Judith does

    - - We are the ten bridesmaids
      - Jesus is the bridegroom

        The wedding celebration likely occurred at night.
        
        The virgins' job was to light the way for the Bridegroom (Jesus) and the rest of the party from the house where the Bridegroom was delayed to the actual banquet hall.
        
        The absence of the oil meant they had no light and thus could not perform their role in the procession. Trying to join the party in total darkness would have been impossible and highly improper.
      - The bridgegroom comes back and they can't enter - I never knew you"
