THE CORRUPT CHURCH - PART 10 * THEIR ADMONITION (CONTINUATION) As for Thyatira, this was a city with a large military detachment about 30 miles Southeast of Pergamos. Revelation 2vs19: "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first." Here is some good positive points that the Lord brings out in exhortation. (1) They are producing works, as they (and all of us) are commanded to. Ephesians 2vs10: "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." (2) They are exhibiting love. (3) They have faith. (4) They are serving the Lord, I presume, by serving others, as He did. (5) In the face of ongoing persecution and tribulation, they are enduring, as the Apostle Paul taught them to. The end of the Revelation 2vs19 states that the last works are greater than the first works... "......THE LAST ARE MORE THAN THE FIRST" THEY NOT ONLY RETAINED WHAT THEY HAD RECEIVED AT FIRST, BUT GREW IN GRACE AND IN KNOWLEDGE AND LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS A RARE THING IN MOST CHRISTIAN CHURCHES. .....TO BE CONTINUED.
