WE MUST REMAIN FAITHFUL

Scripture: Revelation 3:2 “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God."

    Sardis was located 30 miles south of Thyatira.  It was the capital of Lydia and one of the richest cities in the world.  Its’ name means a remnant or those who come out.  Sardis represents the Church Age of the Reformation period, when the church was just coming out of the Dark Ages.  Jesus instructs this church to be watchful and to strengthen the things that remain.  They had works and a name that they were alive, but Jesus said they were dead.  He had not found their works perfect before God.
    What a sad commentary that these believers had not remained faithful to the Lord or to His precious Word!  May we never find ourselves in this situation where we are busy working, yet not being faithful!      
The good news that Jesus gives to this church and to us today is that they can repent of their lack of faithfulness. They are instructed to remember the Word that they first heard and received and to repent.  They are encouraged that they can get right with God, and so can we.  Once we have realized our failure, we have the opportunity to make this mistake right. I’m so glad that our Lord gives us grace in these situations.  They are also instructed to watch for the Lord’s coming and to be prepared.
    Are you watching for His return today?  Are you ready to meet Him should He come back today?  Friend, may we determine in our hearts right now that we’re going to remain faithful in these last days!
