Revelation 22:14-15
Most of this world's holidays are based on fables, myths, and lies, while the Christian is commanded to worship God "in spirit and in truth." A true Christian does not lie and does not associate with lies, but seeks after truth in all aspects of life. If we live with a little lie now, then it is much easier to live with a worse lie later. God is emphatic on this point: A liar will not enter the Kingdom of God (Revelation 21:7-8).

Revelation 22:14-15
God's law will still be in effect once His Kingdom is established. Even after the Millennium, when New Jerusalem comes down, no lawbreaker will be allowed in the city. In Revelation 22, the last chapter of the Bible, obedience to God's law is the central issue. This is very clear proof that the law of God, which reflects the holy conduct of the Almighty, will be the standard for all eternity!

What Does Revelation 22:14 Mean?
Revelation 22:14 declares that blessed are those who obey God's commandments, granting them access to the tree of life and entry into the city. Obedience to God's law remains crucial, even after the Millennium, as only law-keepers will enter New Jerusalem. No liar or lawbreaker will be allowed in the Kingdom, emphasizing the eternal standard of God's holy conduct. Keeping every commandment, no matter how minor, is essential, as any sin, small or great, bars entry into the Kingdom unless repented of and forgiven. Living with even small lies now can lead to greater deceptions later, underscoring the need for truth in all aspects of life.
