Says the Revelator: _“Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels.”_ 5T 692.3 _“Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.” “Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, _*_beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.”_* “And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: to the end He may stablish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.” *“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition, but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”*_ 5T 692.4 *Here we have the Bible election plainly stated. Here are specified who shall be crowned in the city of God and who shall have no part with the just.* _“Blessed are they that _*_do His commandments,_*_ that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”_ 5T 693.1
