Strengthen What Remains

Strengthen the things that remain... a command written in a message from Jesus to the church in Sardis, a church that looked full and flourishing, which was described as having a reputation for being alive but was actually spiritually dead. Jesus is urging the church to wake up, recognize their spiritual decline, and work to strengthen what little faith and good works remained, this is written in the Holy Scriptures! The warning to the church in Sardis then is absolutely relevant today, Christ is sounding the alarm to believer’s facing spiritual or moral decline. It calls for a conscious effort to preserve and build upon what is still fuelled by faith and strength in Christ, rather than succumbing to apathy or despair. We don’t get to know the time of Christ’s return but we do know He is coming. Where will you be found when He arrives?
