Context of Revelation 22:12
10And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11Let the one who does wrong still do wrong, and the one who is filthy still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous still practice righteousness, and the one who is holy still keep himself holy.” “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to reward each one as his work deserves. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” 14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they will have the right to the tree of life, and may enter the city by the gates.

Our actions do not save us, but they show the seriousness of our confession and provide a…Read the comment
