To the church in Sardis, Jesus observed that though they had a reputation for being alive, they were in fact, dead. Many churches may have great numbers, budgets, activities and reputation, yet they are spiritually dead. Jesus urgently called them to wake up and remember what they had once received and heard and repent of their spiritual lethargy. Jesus promised that He would confess the genuine believer before His Father in Heaven. Have you first confessed Jesus as Lord so as to be saved?
