Have you washed your robe in the Blood of the Lamb?

"After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands."
(Revelation 7:9 NLT)

"These are they who have come out of the great tribulation (persecution), and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
(Revelation 7:14 AMP)

"‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat..... ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”   (Revelation 7:16-17 NIV)

Your word Lord, are Spirit and life.

"The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life."
(John 6:63 NLT)

The Holy Spirit gives us life through the Eucharist.  The Eucharist is the Real Flesh, the Real Blood, the Real Presence of Jesus the Christ.

"When His disciples heard this, many of them said, This is a hard and difficult and strange saying (an offensive and unbearable message). Who can stand to hear it? [Who can be expected to listen to such teaching?]"  (John 6:60 AMP)

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me and I in him.

 “How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?” 

 "Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.  Whoever eats  my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day." 

"For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.  Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him."  (John 6: 52 -  56 NABRE)

The Eucharist is the medicine of immortality.  (St Ignatius of Antioch)

For those who honor my Sacred Heart, I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.

"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life."  (John 6: 47 NABRE)

"Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ."  (John 17: 3 NABRE)

Eternal life is knowing God and knowing how He works.
Eternal life is knowing that Jesus is true God and true Man.
Eternal life is belief in Jesus as Savior and Redeemer of all mankind.
Eternal life is a gift of Jesus.
Eternal life begins here and now.

Those who love their life in world will lose it.

"Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen.   A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem; and all the believers except the apostles were scattered through the regions of Judea and Samaria. 

(Some devout men came and buried Stephen with great mourning.)  But Saul was going everywhere to destroy the church. He went from house to house, dragging out both men and women to throw them into prison."
(Acts 8:1-3 NLT)

"Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit."  (John 12: 24 NABRE)
