Revelation 3:1-6
Have ears to hear what the Spirit says…….
Jesus Christ
The angel calling out in Sardis, explains to me the things that I write. He who holds the seven Spirits of God*, and the seven stars* says; “I know your works* because you have a reputation* as though you are alive*, but you are dead.*
Wake up! * And watch! Strengthen the remaining remnant * who lay dying, who are at the point of perishing currently, because I find your work incomplete* before God.
Therefore, remember how to believe * and understand *, and keep watch and repent. But if you will not stay awake and keep watch, I will come (arrive) upon you in the manner of a thief, and you will not perceive (know) which hour* I am arriving at your house.
I hold in my possession very few called by my name in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, even so, they shall walk with me in the light* because they are worthy.
Overcome* this! Invest in white* garments and I will blot out your sin and not blot out your name* from the book of life. In addition, I will acknowledge your name in the presence of my Father, and in the presence of his angels.
Have ears to hear what the Spirit says to the called out.
