Revelation 3:4 ESV
Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.
There are a few who have held close to Jesus. They will walk with Jesus after He returns because they walk with Him now. Their garments are clean as they walk in His purifying light. The oil of the Spirit is present in their lives. These are the sons and daughters of the resurrection. They will stand before God and not be afraid.
soiled - μολύνω * molunō * mol-oo'-no * Probably from G3189; to soil (figuratively): - defile. (CWS). The stains of this world can only washed from our garments by the blood of the L7amb.
white - λευκός * leukos * lyoo-kos' * From λύκη lukē ("light"); white: - white. (CWS). The white of our garments comes from our being with Him and will be whiter and brighter than anything we can produce. Just as the face of Moses glowed after spending time in the presence of God, so will we be clothed in the radiance of the Lord. Corruption will give way to incorruption, and mortality will be exchanged for immortality.
Ecclesiastes 9:8
Let your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking on your head.
Luke 20:34-36
And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, 36 for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
Luke 21:36
But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
