Only Spotless Robes will be in heaven

Revelations 2:10

 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life

Revelations 7:14

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

As Christians, not only do we serve God because we love Him, but we also look forward to the eternal rewards, which is a sparkling white robe of righteousness that the righteous will wear along with the crown of life. However, these usually come with a hefty price tag;  obedience and sacrifice the cost of which many are unwilling to pay. It is understandable since the trials we bear are not only heartbreaking but backbreaking as well. However, eternity is worth any sacrifice that we must make in this life.

Jesus’ Second Coming

Jesus is coming again, and He wants to reward all of His children. Therefore, we must keep our garments spotless by washing them in the blood of Jesus daily in anticipation of His coming.  While we wait, we should keep checking for any spots and asking Him to give it a second wash when necessary. As we spend quality time each day in His presence, worshipping, praying, studying, confessing and repenting, His Holy Spirit will point out our blemishes.

Keeping our temporal robes spotless

Throughout each day it would be wise to re-check ourselves for any spot of sin that might have infiltrated our robes and again get into His presence for a second wash or even a triple wash to remove the stains of the devil and keep our robe pure. Without our robes of righteousness no one may enter His Kingdom of eternal rest.  Jesus demonstrated this in the parable in Matthew 22: 11-13. There will not be a soiled robe in heaven!  Let us prepare for the marriage supper of the lamb by living a life of devotion and service to God and humanity.
