The Book of Revelation exposes important themes for us who believe that there is a day when Christ will return and make all things right. Until that time comes, we will face conflict that will expose the genuineness of our faith ( 1 Peter:1) we profess. No one loves God perfectly, and hardships and conflict expose the areas of our lives where we lack in obedience which exposes our imperfect love for Him. The good news, we have been given the love of God, complete and full in us…we must decrease ourselves to increase the revelation of that love to the world around us.
