What is true religion? What does true worship actually look like? And does it really matter in the end?

Revelation 14 contrasts two allegiances and two destinations. True worship means belonging to the Lamb and following Jesus wherever he goes. Heaven’s message is equally stark: worship the Creator; Babylon will fall; false worship ends in judgement; and those who remain faithful to Jesus are blessed—even in death.
