Do you know the basic truth?

Good morning everyone!! I hope you have a wonderful day in the Lord Jesus Christ. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Revelation 3:3 "Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you."

The church at Sardis was urged to go back to what they first heard and believed, to get back to the basics of the faith. It is important to grow in our knowledge of the LORD, to deepen our understanding through careful study. But no matter how much we learn, we must never abandon the basic truth. No new truth from God will ever contradict these fundamental biblical teachings.

The church was told to wake up. Their wealth and comfort had lulled them to sleep. Their self satisfaction caused them to die spiritually. Not only had they wandered from the apostles' teaching, but they were no longer growing in faith or evangelism.

They lacked compassionate service to others and had no unity or love. Are you watchful and alert? If God has given you a place of responsibility to teach, lead, or serve, use that position to encourage those around you to be spiritually awake and morally prepared. Thank you for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
