This podcast discusses and explains the letter of John the Revelator to the church in Sardis in Revelation 3:4-6. The saints in Sardis were fixated on their name and reputation instead of having their lives focused on the Savior. Christ states that there are few in Sardis­—a city famous for its woolen garment industry—that had not defiled their garments. The garments discussed in this verse symbolically describe the moral and spiritual status of the people, as discussed in this podcast. Those with clean and white garments are promised that they will be clothed in white raiment as a symbol of purity and eternal life. They also will not have their name blotted out of the book of life, which is explained in more detail during this podcast. This podcast also discusses the manner by which people have their name included in the book of life during premortality or during mortality. Christ will advocate with the Father for people who have their names in the book of life.
