**Revelation 21:27** — *"But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life."*
The gate of the New Jerusalem is not guarded by a checklist — it is sealed by a name. *Your* name. Written not by your merit, but by the Lamb who bled to inscribe it.
John's vision here is not a warning to the already-redeemed; it is a covenant promise. The city is holy because its Author is holy, and those who dwell within it are those He has claimed. Uncleanness does not merely fail the entrance exam — it was already defeated at the cross.
The question is not whether you are worthy to enter. The question is whether you have surrendered to the One who made you worthy.
Let us reflect on what it means to abide in a name not our own — and rejoice in it.
