White Robes
I received a lot of nice clothes yesterday as Christmas presents, and I am very thankful for them. However, my most important piece of clothing will be the white robe I will wear for eternity in heaven. No one can buy a white robe. It can only be produced when our filthy robes are washed clean by the blood of the Lamb.(Revelation 7:13,14) The Bible says that our own righteousness is like filthy rags. That is what we wear until we come to know Christ as Lord and Savior. Then, He washes our robes in His blood, so that we receive His righteousness, which is what is symbolized by the white robes. Without His righteousness no one will be able to stand before the Lord in His sinless heaven.
As we continue to read the book of Revelation for the rest of this year, we will see all of the troubles that the Lord will pour out on the earth during the seven years of the Tribulation, which proceed His Second Coming to the earth. All of those troubles are designed to punish sin and to point people to Him, as the only Lord and Savior. Multitudes will be saved at that time by putting their trust in Him. However, even more people will die in their sins, never having received their white robes of His righteousness. I pray that each of us will be ready for that time of tribulation which could start at any time. If you don't know Jesus now, trust Him today. I may be wrong, but I do not believe that anyone will have a second chance to trust Him after the rapture of the church. The Rapture could happen at any minute. Then, only those who never heard the gospel will be given a chance to trust Christ when they hear the Good News. Please, make sure you have one of those white robes waiting for you. Remember, the only thing that can wash away our sins and make our robes white is the blood of the Lamb.
Tomorrow, I intend to read Revelation 9-11.
