Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 3:5

He that overcometh - See the notes on Revelation 2:7.The same shall be clothed in white raiment - Whosoever he may be that shall overcome sin and the temptations of this world, shall be admitted to this glorious reward. The promise is made not only to those in Sardis who should be victorious, but to all in every age and every land. The hope that is thus held out before us, is that of appearing with the Redeemer in his kingdom, clad in robes expressive of holiness and joy.And I will not blot out... read more

Revelation 3:5-6. He that overcometh That is finally victorious over his spiritual enemies; shall be clothed in white raiment In the habit of victory, joy, and triumph; and I will not blot his name out of the book of life Like that of the angel of the church at Sardis. See on Philippians 4:3; Daniel 12:1. This passage plainly implies, that some names shall be blotted out from the book of life: that is, some who, in consequence of their adoption and regeneration, were entitled to and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 3:1-6

Letter to Sardis (3:1-6)The church in Sardis had so much followed the ways of the society around it that it was Christian in name only. Spiritually it was dead (3:1). The Lord of the church can give it new life through the Spirit (see v. 1; cf. 1:4,20), but first the believers must wake up, change their ways, and determine to follow the teaching of the gospel they first believed. If not, swift judgment will fall upon them (2-3).Some in the church had proved the genuineness of their faith by... read more

He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.Shall be arrayed with me in white ... This, of course, is to be taken in close connection with Revelation 3:4. Rather than finding some reference in this to customs of pagan worshippers, it is better to understand the figurative meaning of it as similar to that mentioned by Adam Clarke:The great council of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 3:5

Revelation 3:5. And I will not blot out his name— The same allegory is pursued. This is elsewhere stiled to cast out the name (Luke 6:22.)—to reject, to excommunicate, by blotting the name out of the matricula, or catalogue of Christ's saints, which is here called the book of life; none but saints who are in it being to expect eternal life. See ch. Rev 20:12 Revelation 21:27. read more

The body transfigured into the likeness of Christ's body, and emitting beams of light reflected from Him, is probably the "white raiment" promised here. the same—Greek, "THIS man"; he and he alone. So one oldest manuscript reads. But two oldest manuscripts, and most of the ancient versions, "shall THUS be clothed," c. raiment—Greek, "garments." "He that overcometh" shall receive the same reward as they... read more

4. Promise 3:4-6Jesus Christ held out blessings for the faithful few in the congregation to stimulate the rest to repent. White garments symbolic of one’s works (Revelation 19:8) are pure and free of defilement (cf. Revelation 7:9; Revelation 7:13; Revelation 19:14; Matthew 22:11-12). Sardis boasted of her trade in woolen goods and dyed stuffs. [Note: Cf. Charles, 1:78.] Only the Christians who were faithful to Jesus Christ could enjoy His intimate fellowship ("walk with Me;" cf. Revelation... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 3:1-22

The Epistles to the Seven Churches (concluded)1-6. To the Church in Sardis Christ speaks as He who gives the spirit and looks for spiritual life. There is no praise for this Church. Its life is without spiritual reality (Revelation 3:1). Yet, even now, awakening is within its power. But if it continue to sleep, Christ will come in sudden judgment (Revelation 3:2.). A few individuals have remained faithful. To them, and to all such, Christ promises gladness and life, and that He will acknowledge... read more
