Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city- Revelation 22:14 NKJV
What does that mean to you?

blessed are those who want to love-even their enemies...who want to be as Jesus was in all things. a love for lost souls.
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:...
and that be our dilemma. i cant speak for others but i find myself resisting until i remember to call on God.

It's really "blessed are those who wash their robes" in the blood of the Lamb. These people were referred to in Revelation 7, which is, I think, an expansion of this verse.
What is interesting to me is that washing robes in blood makes them white. Most blood is red, I think, including lamb blood. I'm not sure what it means to me yet. Let me ponder.
