Moving on, one important thing I noted in this study was that not only did Jesus begin his message to the church in Philadelphia on a positive note as He did to the past churches, but He had only good things to say to them.
Wherever we are, no matter how far away we have drifted, if we come back into His loving arms truly sorrowful for our sin and accept His embrace, we will walk with Him in white.
This week, I continued my in-depth study of Revelation with my focus on Jesus’s message to the church in Pergamos, and I realized as I read, that I was right back to the topic of compromise.
We all face hardships. There are patches of life that seem like the struggle is never-ending. We stomp through the mud puddle only to find we are standing in quicksand.
Instead of obeying and interpreting God’s Word as it is written, we are picking, choosing, and twisting the scripture to accommodate and fit the way we want to live.
