"this can be accomplished, there must be an examination of the books of record to determine who, through repentance of sin and faith in Christ, are entitled to the benefits of His atonement. The cleansing of the sanctuary therefore involves a work of investigation—a work of judgment. This work must be performed prior to the coming of Christ to redeem His people; for when He comes, His reward is with Him to give to every man according to his works. Revelation 22:12 . GC 421.3"
"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
Ellen White directly references Revelation 22:12 in this passage.
