When John was on the isle of Patmos, God gave him a vision of Christ’s word to seven churches.  Revelation 2-3
  Christ knew all about those seven churches. 

  Some were in need to turning from going the way they were… they needed to turn to their first love, the Lord Jesus.  Such as the church at Ephesus.  Revelation 2:2-4

  Remember: where you are fallen and Repent: do what you did when you first came to belief in Jesus Christ.  Revelation 2:5  Return: to your first love for Christ.  Revelation 2:4
  Jesus listed six more churches and what their needs were. 

Only one was commended without a rebuke or reproof.  And the church members at that church in Philadelphia withstood temptations and persecution.  Revelation 3:7-13

Think about this!

Today ~ as you live before Christ,
Would you be commended or rebuked?
