Seven Churches pt. 5 - Sardis

Scripture: Revelation 3:1-6

Meditation: _"Beholding the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world, he finds the peace of Christ; for pardon is written against his name, and he accepts the Word of God, ‘Ye are complete in Him’ (Colossians 2:10). How hard is it for humanity, long accustomed to cherish doubt, to grasp this great truth! But what peace it brings to the soul, what vital life! In looking to ourselves for righteousness, by which to find acceptance with God, we look to the wrong place, ‘for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God’ (Romans 3:23). We are to look to Jesus; for ’we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory" (2 Corinthians 3:18). You are to find your completeness by beholding the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."- Faith and Works, p. 108 _

Seven Churches pt. 6 - Philadelphia

text: Revelation 3:7-13

*Meditation: *

“Jesus gained the victory through submission and faith in God, and by the apostle He says to us, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.” James 4:7, 8. We cannot save ourselves from the tempter’s power; he has conquered humanity, and when we try to stand in our own strength, we shall become a prey to his devices; but “the name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” Prov. 18:10. Satan trembles and flees before the weakest soul who finds refuge in that mighty name." – Desire of Ages p. 130, 131

Seven Churches pt. 7 - Laodicea

Scripture: Revelation 3:14-22

Meditation: “Even more than God abhors infidelity, He abhors indifference in religious
matters, because religious pretention without genuine religion is a
continual stumbling block to sinners. The more cold and formal men are in
the religious life, the more they are filled with egotism, and egotism
always works against Christ. You may have much knowledge, but unless you are
the possessor of true, pure religion, your knowledge is worthless to Christ.
Every soul may become rich in spiritual treasures.” Lift Him Up, p. 229

Why Wait

Scripture: Romans 6:3-5

Meditation:
All who live have sins to wash away. . . True repentance of sin, faith in
the merits of Jesus Christ, and baptism into His death, to be raised out of
the water to live a new life, are the first steps in the new birth which
Christ told Nicodemus he must experience in order to be saved. The words of
Christ to Nicodemus are not only spoken to him, but to every man, woman, and
child, that should live in the world. . . We are safe in following the
example of Christ. Lift Him Up, p. 79
