Revelation 3

Revelation 3 continues with another 3 more churches; The Dead Church, The Faithful Church and Lukewarm Church.

Revelation 3:2-3
"Be watchful, and strengthen the...... I will come upon you. "
This part speaks a lot to me. First thing of all, I felt that my work for God is not perfect and God is telling me to be watchful, hold fast and repent. This led me to think even further. What is perfection? I do not have the confidence to say I can do it, except to remind myself constantly that I need to be watchful. Also, "and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.", I have been thinking about this, that we do not know when He will come. And I am always worried that I will be ashame to see Him when He comes, for I know my work is not perfect and have not done enough on my part.

Revelation 3:10-11
"Because you have kept My command.... may take your crown."
The part on "to test those who dwell on earth." seems to be talking about God testing whether we are willing to part with worldliness and be with Him. I felt His mercy and grace in it, that He is giving us another chance to repent and make a final decision.

In the last part, Revelation 3 talks about the Lukewarm Church, people having both side of the "world". How then can the salt be sweet at the same time and, water and oil be mixed? Likewise the Holy and the evil. To those who rebuke saying by chemical means, I would like to ask if the product is corrupted and not of purity. Because this is crucial, our stand must be firm, so that we will not be doubtful on where we will be.
