Revelation 22:12–15 (ESV) — 12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense
with me, to repay each one for what he has done. 13 I am the
Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the
right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and
murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
NOTE: Two things to
note. One, the way we live our lives has bearing on the rewards received in the
next age. Two, the only way to enter the next age and the New Jerusalem is
through washed robes. And that only happens when a person puts his faith in Jesus
for their salvation. No other name in heaven will gain you access to the tree
of life. No other beliefs or faith can save a person. Only Jesus, and belief in
Jesus will allow you to receive the GIFT of eternal life in the next age. Those
who refuse, can continue in their sins, but they will find themselves
ultimately in the lake of fire and with access to the tree of life. Rewards are
a payment. Washed robes is a gift.
PRAYER: Satan has
confused the world with philosophies that either ignore the existence of the
creator, or philosophies that suggest that all faiths lead to salvation. Those
are wrong. Satan is a liar, and he has been one from the beginning (as Jesus
tells the disciples). Father, open our eyes to our need. Show us our future.
Save us from our stupidity and sin.
