Revelation 3:11 contradicts a song

This is my understanding of

"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."
Revelation 3:11.

This verse commands me to stop talking about God and my thoughts in public space. And this means that I have paid the final prize for my place in Paradise. No more good deeds and personal growth is asked. And they are prohibited for me to perform.

But the song below says: "do not fix the prize" until you are in Heaven "until He gets you to the other side."


This song about cold cold cold Death this winter:

Revelation 3:12 speaks about the One who has the New name of the Messiah, name of the New Jerusalem, name of the father, and is a Pillar in the Temple of God.

Therefore one who has a Crown is the one appointed; like the 24 Elders all have Crowns, and are surrounding the Throne of God.
I have paid the final prize for my place in Paradise.
Righteousness isn't a merit badge; it is an uphill struggle.

In my opinion. :innocent:

I don't follow how you came to that conclusion.

....
"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."
Revelation 3:11.
...

I think that would mean for example that person keeps the words of Jesus and also this:

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear:
1 Pet. 3:15

But my interpretation is not excluded?

I think "...stop talking about God..." is a wrong interpretation because:

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear:
1 Pet. 3:15
