Revelation: The Challenge of Eternity - Part 2

November 5, 2019

Being aware of our own weaknesses helps keep us alert. What tends to sway you toward disobedience? Culture, False Doctrine, lack of self-discipline, self-sufficiency, pride, lack of care for others, other things? Search scripture to find a verse that addresses this and write it out on an index card to keep handy.
Revelation 3:19 says, “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.” It is key to understand that Jesus' rebuke and discipline of the churches were rooted in love for them. And when the Holy Spirit rebukes and disciplines you believer, it is rooted in love as well.

The churches were warned:

Do not tolerate false doctrine
Return to your first love
Do not tolerate sexual sin in your midst
Stay strong and faithful‚ even in trials and suffering
Do not become lukewarm

Are any of the warnings relevant in your life right now? Which ones? And how will you address these issues?
