2: Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3: Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4: 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.
5: 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.
6: He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Had these been washed in his blood? He calls them his Church. Yet he rebukes them BECAUSE THERE WORKS WERE NOT PERFECT. Does it say somewhere here that his judgment of them was NOT based on their performance of his will? And YHWH would see the blood and pass on over?

Or is it crystal clear he was judging them on whether their works were perfect before YHWH?

What does he give as consequence if we do not overcome?

Name blotted out of book of life verse 5.

Its dramatic the difference between the words of Yeshua and what men teach nowadays.
Their garments were defiled because they were not washed in the blood of the lamb. When one depends upon their works for salvation... they are then judged according to their works (for that is what they rely upon for salvation). And no man's works are "perfect".
Galatians 5:4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Now go back and read the passage you gave to me again.
