Perfect Purity
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment. (Revelation 3:5)
Warrior of the cross, fight on!
Never rest till thy victory is complete, for thine eternal reward will prove worthy of a life of warfare.
See, here is perfect purity for thee!
A few in Sardis kept their garments undefiled, and their recompense is to be spotless.
Perfect holiness is the prize of our high calling; let us not miss it.
See, here is joy!
Thou shalt wear holiday robes, such as men put on at wedding feasts; thou shalt be clothed with gladness and be made bright with rejoicing.
Painful struggles shall end in peace of conscience and joy in the Lord.
See, here is victory!
Thou shalt have thy triumph. Palm, and crown, and white robe shall be thy guerdon; thou shalt be treated as a conqueror and owned as such by the Lord Himself.
See, here is priestly array! Thou shalt stand before the Lord in such raiment as the sons of Aaron wore; thou shalt offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving and draw near unto the Lord with the incense of praise.
Who would not fight for a Lord who gives such large honors to the very least of His faithful servants? Who would not be clothed in a fool's coat for Christ's sake, seeing He will robe us with glory?
