“The victor: I will give him the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I also won the victory and sat down with My Father on His throne.” Revelation 3:21 HCSB
The one who does buy refined gold, white clothes, and healing ointment will be the one who has gotten the victory and will be sitting with Jesus on His throne in His kingdom. Just as a young prince or a young princess would in their daddy’s kingdom. What would it profit a man to continue to gain in this world yet forfeit the right to sit with Jesus in His Kingdom (Luke 9:25 BRH)?
“Then He said to them all, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it. What is a man benefited if he gains the whole world, yet loses or forfeits himself?”

Continue to persuade the things we have In Christ. And all the things that are promised so us will be going to us.
“For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.”
1 Corinthians 15:22 HCSB

Continue in the Love of Christ and nothing will separate you from Him.
“Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or anguish or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: Because of You we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we are more than victorious through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that not even death or life, angels or rulers, things present or things to come, hostile powers, height or depth, or any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!”
