“The White Robe”

The Bible says:

“For God has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness...” Isaiah 61:10


“For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” Galatians 3:27
The white robe we wear is not ours. It is Christ’s robe of righteousness, which he gives to us. The Bible calls this the Great Exchange.

Jesus takes our sins upon Himself – He took our place on the cross and died for us. Jesus gives us His righteousness, His perfect life; He kept the Law of God for us.

In Revelation, the Apostle John had the Great Exchange explained to him. John says: “These in white robes --- who are they, and where did they come from? These are they who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

The Bible says only three persons are able to wear white robes...
Jesus, Angel, and you and me in Christ.


How did we get our white robes? The Apostle Paul says: “...Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own; eager to do what is good.” Titus 2:14


We are saved...
Not by good works, but to do good works
By Jesus work on the cross


By Jesus’ blood in which we have washed our robes – His blood washed away our sins. In the book of James, we read: “...Humbly accept the Word planted in you, which can save you.” 1:21


“Ultimately, it is not a matter of how often we go through the Bible, but how often the Bible goes through us.” Henry Weston

A white robe is a sign of purity. In heaven, we shall be without any spot or wrinkle. Here on the earth our garments get defiled. Every-day we need to be washed in the blood of the Lamb. Heaven is a place of spotless purity. "And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, nor maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life"(Rev.21: 27). There will not be any disorder or division among the saints there. White robes speak of priesthood and victory.

If we really love Jesus, we will not be strangers in heaven. Revelation 3:20 where Jesus says, “Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any one would open the door, I will come in and live in you and you in me.”

God bless you my friends!
