Rev 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. God has a new name, a new particular identity for everybody. The new name written, is in the perfect passive. This talks about a name which God wrote for you in eternity, but its impact continues. It’s a new existence or identity which God wants to bring you into. He that receiveth it, is he that obtains it. The obtaining is in the present, describing a constant action of obtaining. Though your new identity is here from all eternity, the obtaining of it by revelation knowledge, is in your ball court. It’s a continual pressing in, never passive. The devils lie is to make us passive about our walks. The Christian should have the most active life , by the Spirit of God, than any other person in this world. There is a huge amount of things that must be attained to. From completely discarding, like the skin of a snake, an old identity and putting on God’s particular indenity. Huge amount of work.
