Revelation Chapter 2
in today’s world (In a Nut-Shell)!
Verses 2:1 – 3:22:
Although these 7 churches were actual, historical churches in Asia Minor, they
represent the types of churches that perennially exist throughout the church
age. What Christ says to these churches is relevant in all times.
As we look at all of
these churches, we must examine ourselves and our church and see just what
category we fall into.
Verses 1-3: There
are many things that we must note about these verses.
Here are seven
warning signs that signal that a church or individual has left their first
love.
(1)
Christ is
no longer the central focus in your life;
(2)
You neglect
your relationship with the Lord and spend less time in prayer, worship and the
Word;
(3)
You allow
family, friends, job and your own desires to come between you and your
relationship with God;
(4)
There is a
loss of intimacy in your relationship with God;
(5)
You are
caught in a cycle of dead works;
(6)
You are
more tolerant of sin;
(7)
You will no
longer have a burning passion for the lost.
