This is from my morning devotions with Charles Spurgoen scripture from Revelation no comment by me.
Revelation 3:4 KJV
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
We can understand this promise to mean justification: “They shall walk with Me in white.” This means that they will enjoy a constant sense of being justified by faith. They will know that Christ’s righteousness has been credited to them, that they have been washed and made whiter than newly-fallen snow.
It also refers to joy and gladness, for white garments were worn during festivals and celebrations in Jewish culture. Those who have not defiled their garments will always have bright, joyful faces. They will understand what Solomon meant when he said, “Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a glad heart. Let your garments always be white, for God has already accepted your works.” Those who are accepted by God will wear white robes of joy and gladness, as they walk in sweet fellowship with the Lord Jesus.
Why then, do so many believers experience doubt, misery, and sorrow? It is because many of them stain their garments with sin and error. As a result, they lose the joy of their salvation and the comfort of walking closely with Jesus—they are not walking in white while here on earth.
This promise also points to walking in white in heaven, before the throne of God. Those who have not defiled their garments here on earth will most certainly walk in white robes in heaven, joining the white-robed multitudes in singing eternal hallelujahs to the Most High. They will experience unimaginable joy, happiness beyond all dreams, bliss beyond what words can express, and blessedness that even the most profound desires cannot reach.
The “undefiled” will receive all this, not by their merit or works, but by grace. They will walk with Christ in white because He has made them worthy. In His sweet company, they will drink from the fountains of living waters!
