Revelation 22:14

Verse 14

This final blessing in the book (cf. Revelation 1:3; Revelation 14:13; Revelation 16:15; Revelation 19:9; Revelation 20:6; Revelation 22:7) announces God’s favor on those who cleanse themselves by turning to Christ for salvation (cf. Revelation 7:14; Revelation 21:27). The robe one wears is a figure for one’s works, which others see (Revelation 19:8; cf. Revelation 7:14).

People who wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb will have access to the tree of life (i.e., they will live forever in the new creation). They will also enter the New Jerusalem by its gates (i.e., they will be able to enjoy intimate fellowship with God).
