Acknowledged by Jesus
“The one who conquers will be clothed the same way, in white garments, and I will never erase his name from the book of life, but will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.” - Revelation 3:5
Picture the scene: standing before God in heaven, and Jesus Himself speaks your name. This is the third promise Jesus makes to those who remain faithful: “I will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.” Jesus is saying that on that day, He will personally vouch for you before the Father.
In Matthew 10:32-33, Jesus makes it clear: “Everyone who will acknowledge me before others, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever denies me before others, I will also deny him before my Father in heaven.” Your faithfulness in confessing Jesus here on earth has eternal implications. If you stand for Him now, He will stand for you then.
Imagine Jesus saying your name in the presence of God the Father and all the angels. What an incredible moment of validation and honor! This promise is not about your reputation on earth but your reality in heaven. You may struggle, you may fail, but if your heart is true to Jesus, He promises to acknowledge you.
Now let me ask you, are you confessing Jesus before others? Are you living in a way that aligns your reputation with your reality as a follower of Christ? It’s easy to get caught up in trying to please people or maintaining a certain image. But what truly matters is how Jesus sees you and how you represent Him.
Maybe you feel like your reputation doesn’t match your reality. Perhaps you’ve fallen short or drifted away. The good news is that Jesus invites you to return to Him. His promise remains for those who are faithful, and there’s always a chance to realign your life with His truth.
Imagine that future moment when Jesus speaks your name before the Father. Let that inspire you to live boldly for Him today. Confess Jesus openly, live faithfully, and remember that your eternal standing is secured by His acknowledgment. This promise offers profound assurance and hope, reminding you that no matter where you are now, Jesus is ready to speak your name in heaven.
