The obedient church

church of Philadelphia

Christ is the Holy one and the Truth

Christ doesn’t Rebuke them

Christ commends them for:

being obedient

being faithful

having perseverance

not denying His name

The church is:

small in size and influence

strong in the word

stedfast in their faith

successful in their mission

to share the truth

bring glory to God

walking by faith

Pleasing God

following the savior

doing Good to those who despitefully miss used them

The outcome is

open door no one can shut

shut doors that no one can open

enemies of the church being humbled

false believers seeing God expression for love being witnessed
