Are You Dead Or Alive ?
Rev.3:1-3 “Wake up ! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds perfect before God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent.”” I have not found your deeds perfect before God”, it means that their ” works are incomplete and do not reach heaven.” They were singing, praying, preaching and giving, but their works were not reaching Heaven. They were accomplishing nothing of eternal value.
All deeds must be for the glory of God, not people , nor church. God saves us by grace, by faith, but He will judge us according to our deeds. Read Eph.2:10 “Remember how you have received and heard…” Remember where the Lord brought you from and what He has done for you. 1 Cor.15:1,2 “Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the Gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this Gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise , you have believed in vain .”
Remember your first love, your passion for the Lord,your hunger for the Word, how you used to walk in the power of God, while the fire of His glory burned in and He used you for His glory ! The Word of God never changes , but you do. You need to go back to the teachings of the Scripture , because they are Spirit and they are life. (John 6:63) Jo.5:39 ” You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life.”
