START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
2Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
YOU ARE DEAD / REVELATION 3:1-2
The church in Sardis was spiritually lifeless, with only a few of its members remining faithful to the true message of Christ. Outwardly, it appeared alive and active and had a reputation of success and spirituality; but the church was relying on past experiences. It may have had what seemed to be effective ministries and a dynamic form of worship, but not the true purity and power of the Holy Spirit. The church’s reputation may have fooled a lot of people, but Jesus saw the inner lives and hearts of the people. He saw a form of religion, but not true spiritual life (2 Timothy 3:5). There must have still been a glimmer of hope and life if the church turned from their own way and back to God, obeying what He had shown them in the past (Revelation 3:2-3), The condition of the church in Sardis should prompt churches and individual Christians today to ask: Are we coasting spiritually and relying on our image, traditions and past experiences, or are we genuinely alive and growing spiritually?
