What does it mean to be 'clothed in white robes' in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Being clothed in white robes symbolizes purity and righteousness granted to believers by Christ's sacrifice.

In Revelation 7:9-14, John describes a multitude before God’s throne clothed in white robes. This imagery represents the purity and righteousness granted to believers through the atoning work of Christ. These robes signify that believers are washed clean from sin and now stand justified in God's presence. The white color symbolizes holiness, as only those made righteous through faith in Jesus can approach the Holy God. This imagery reinforces the truth that our standing before God is not based on our merit but entirely on Christ’s redeeming work for us.
