Jesus' next words to the congregation in Sardis are most encouraging. He says: "Nevertheless, you do have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their outer garments and they shall walk with me in white ones, because they are worthy. He that conquers will thus be arrayed in white outer garment, and I will by no means blot out his name from the book of life, but I will make acknowledgement of his name before my Father and before his angels." (Revelation 3:4, 5) Do not these words arouse us and strengthen our determination to be faithful? Because of negligence on the part of the body of elders, a congregation as a whole may fall into deep spiritual sleep. Yet, some individuals therein may strive courageously to keep their Christian identity pure and unspotted and thus continue to have a good name with Jehovah. -PROVERBS 22:1.
