Text: Revelation 3:1-6
Synopsis: In Revelation 3:1-6, Christ rebukes the church in Sardis for having a reputation of spiritual life while being spiritually dead. Like the city that once fell through carelessness, the church had grown complacent and hypocritical, maintaining outward religious activity without a heart truly alive for God. Christ commands them to wake up, remember the Word they received, keep it, and repent. Genuine spiritual life comes through the power of both God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. Those who conquer will be clothed in white, their names secure in the Book of Life, and confessed by Christ before the Father.
