Chap. 3. v. 5. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white Raiment, and I will not blot out his Name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his Name before my Father, and before his Angels. How many Motives are here to Perseverance? Just now a Promise of hidden Manna to eat, now of white Raiment to clothe the Person that overcomes. This white Raiment is the Righteousness of Jesus Christ, in which poor Sinners must be clothed: If they should have nothing but their own Righteousness to appear in, they would not be able to stand in the Judgment. How blessed and happy are all those for whom this white Raiment is prepared? they are assured that their Name shall not be blotted out of the Book of Life. It is an inestimable Privilege to have their Names registered in Heaven, for to them Christ saith, that he will confess them before his ⟨p. 95⟩Father, and before his Angels, to be owned, approved, and commended before Men and Angels, and the great Assembly of the Just. This should excite us to be diligent and faithful to the end, that at the last we may overcome, and be Sharers of these great Benefits that are promised unto those who are clothed with this white Raiment.
