Revelation 3.1-6 The One Who Has the Spirit of Life
…you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.
A. THE PROBLEM OF SPIRITUAL DROWSINESS
A weakening of faith, a cooling of love, a lessening of zeal,
an abatement of that whole hearted devotedness to Christ
which marks the healthy saint. [AW Pink]
A physical drowsiness
A deadness of will
A deadness of feeling
A deadness of all that is lovely
A deadness in the midst of busyness
B. THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM
- Repent
a. Wake up
b. Strengthen the things that remain
c. Remember what you have received and heard and keep it [1 Cor 15.1-4]
- Believe
a. Believe in the person of Jesus [1; 1.4, 20]
b. Believe in the promise of Jesus for white garments [5a]
1 Cor 6.11; Eph 5.26; Tit 3.5-6; Heb 10.22; Rev 7.14
c. Believe in the promise of Jesus about your name [5b]
God don't make no promises that He don't keep
You got some big dreams, but in order to dream you gotta still be asleep.
There's a Man up on a cross and He's been crucified for you
Believe in His power, that's about all you got to do. [Bob Dylan]
