Those individuals who took the admonition in the letter to Ephesus seriously a) succeeded in reclaiming their fervent love for the Savior, and b) were empowered to live pure lives of loving obedience to His word in its fullness. This direction of the church certainly gained the enemy’s riveted attention.
The messages of the risen, glorified Christ to the churches were presented in illustrative language that could be readily understood. Even the introductions of Himself in each letter indicated His perfect capability to meet their unique needs.
This heavy emphasis on overcoming is purposeful, for it is the daily action of trust and obedience that is necessary for human character to develop as God intended.
There is a tragic irony coming to light in the closing days of earth’s history. Multitudes who have never had the advantage of literacy and access to the Bible will learn of Jesus and joyfully seek every possible way that they may serve and please Him. At the same time, many who have had full access to God’s word all of their lives, and who present themselves as His followers (see Isaiah 4:1), will find that they are shut out of heaven.
But the best part of it is not only being freed from certain things, but gaining the freedom to act in faithfulness and obedience in every area of life.
….ask for the Spirit which is His to activate your mind and open your spiritual eyes to the firm reality and lasting nature of heaven.
