Remember, Obey and Repent

Rev. 3:3 “Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent.”

The Church of Sardis is the Church period of great reformation. Great reformist like Luther, Calvin and Knox were used by the Lord to free many from the works-based bondage dogma of the Catholic church. This Church Age started right, but they ended being almost lifeless as Protestantinism became formal, ritualistic, worldly and political. The Lord Jesus tells them three things to do and this is also applicable to us:

1. Remember – They should remember their foundations. They should remember what they received from the Lord. As should any wayward believer. From a prophetic point of view the Protestant church was founded upon the following four-fold footing: Grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone, Bible alone. Each of these is Biblical and should be remembered, received and rejoiced in again.

2. Obey – Stay strong to that which you knew to be the truth. Don’t move from it. Many are moving from grace, faith, Christ and scripture alone in this day. But we need to obey what the Lord says and not man.

3. Repent – Turn around in the way they are walking. Turn around with how they are thinking! Come back to that which is true. This is the message of the Lord in their day and ours.
