Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, poor, blind, and naked.
Some may now be wondering if those words might pertain to me and you personally, and rightly so, for The Lord is addressing the church, not only as the corporate body, but he is speaking to me and you in the present tense, and on an individual level.
To answer our unspoken questions, there are some basic tendencies, which if we see in ourselves, are to raise a red flag, as far as the issue of behaviors versus conversion is concerned. If we know we have the tendency to seek strict justice from those who may offend us, then it’s time to go have a talk with God.
If we feel good when our enemies are punished for the wrongs they have done, then it is time for us to go have a talk with God. the truly converted person takes delight in pardoning those who may trespass against us, and thus seeks his or her restoration as quickly as possible.
Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
