7 things JESUS asks of us

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Revelation 3:20

King James Version

20 Behold, 

I stand at the door, and knock: 

if any man hear my voice, 

and open the door, 

I will come in to him, 

and will sup with him,

 and he with me.


In the FIRST three chapters of the BOOK of REVELATION, the LORD JESUS revealed much.

Here are SEVEN things He asks of us, in the third chapter, after having given His epistle to the seven churches of Asia, through His apostle, John:

1. Be zealous.

2. Repent.

Revelation 3:19

King James Version

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: 

be zealous therefore, and repent.


3. Hear my voice.

4. Open the door.

5. Sup with Him.

Revelation 3:20

King James Version

20 Behold, 

I stand at the door, and knock: 

if any man hear my voice, 

and open the door

I will come in to him, 

and will sup with him, 

and he with me.


6. Overcome.

Revelation 3:21

King James Version

21 To him that overcometh 

will I grant to sit with me in my throne, 

even as I also overcame, 

and am set down with my Father 

in his throne.


7. Hear what the Spirit said unto the churches.

Revelation 3:22

King James Version

22 He that hath an ear, 

let him hear what the Spirit saith 

unto the churches.


The Lord truly desires to have fellowship with us, the body of His church.

The Lord knows my response.

What about you?

What is your reponse?

I agree with apostle John:

1 John 5:3

King James Version

3 For this is the love of God, 

that we keep his commandments

and his commandments are not grievous.
