Revelation 3:22b: He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Jesus and His Word
The letters to the seven churches are a remarkably complete treatment of problems that face the church today. The recurring dangers of losing their first love (2:4), of being afraid of suffering (2:10), doctrinal defection (2:14–15), moral departure (2:20), spiritual deadness (3:1–2), not holding fast (v. 11), and lukewarmness (vv. 15–16) are just as prevalent today as they were in first-century churches. Because these letters come from Christ personally, they take on significance as God’s final word of exhortation to the church down through the centuries. The final appeal is to all individuals who will hear. People in churches today would do well to listen. 1
Jesus and His Ways
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1–2
Tomorrow we start a new, in-depth devotional Bible study through Romans. The tile is: The Just Shall Live by Faith.
Are you ready for 2020 to be the year of incredible spiritual growth? Romans is also known as the gospel of grace. I am certain that we will experience the greatest transformation that we have ever known, as we study Romans. It is time to listen to Him, to love Him, and to live for Him. I hope the lessons we learned from the 7 churches is Revelation will stir our hearts towards faith-filled living and faith-filled loving! Blessed to be on your team and to make this journey of faith together.
