Revelation 2:7–3:22 contains letters from Jesus Christ to seven churches in Asia Minor, offering commendations, warnings, and promises. Each letter concludes with a call for the listener to "hear what the Spirit says to the churches." These letters outline a pattern: commendation for good deeds or faithfulness, rebuke for moral or doctrinal failure, and a promise to the faithful who overcome. Each message stresses the importance of staying true to Christ, avoiding false teachings, and persevering through difficulties. In what ways do these letters reflect our church today?
