Revelation chapter 3 verses 11 to 12 says,” I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name” (Revelation 5: 11-12 New International Version). This passage shows that the lord is coming, and Christians should hold on to their faith as he is coming to crown them. This verse exemplifies the revelation perspective on salvation in that Christians have to put their belief in Jesus Christ for their salvation. Revelation chapter 22 verses 12 say, “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done” (Revelation 22:12 New International Version). The apocalyptic part of this part is seen in the projected coming of the savior. It is a warning to Christians to prepare for the coming of the savior. The coming of the savior is nearing and people will be rewarded according to their deeds. Those who have lost the path of life will be punished by burning in hell while those who will have practiced righteousness will be rewarded with the gift of eternal life. This verse exemplifies the revelation perspective on salvation in that; Christians who have put their belief in Jesus Christ will be rewarded when Jesus comes while those who do not believe will be punished.
