16 Jan 2014; Revelation 2
There are 4 letters to the churches in Revelation 2. Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum and Thyatira.
These letters are from Jesus to the Church. Imagine that!
In these letters, there were imperfection and sins in the Church. The letters also mentioned about their works in faith and their struggle.
To the Church in Ephesus, they have lost their first love - probably something they have began their work and walk with God but had stop doing them.
To the Church in Pergamum, it is about a compromising faith. It is ok as long as ...
To the Church in Thyatira, it is about falling in sexual sins.
To me, then what have you to say - your first love, your compromising faith and sins...
I have these against you.. stop and by the grace of God - live a life of faith, live a life in truth. I serve a faithful and truthful God. He said these but He also warn so that I may come back and live a life alive.
These are the word to the Church of Smyrna
9 I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.
The only church without a rebuke - live a life of such!
