“The Corrupt Church” Revelation 2:18-29

Jesus instructs John to write his fourth letter to the Church of Thyatira. Although this church has many commendable works; love, service to the Lord and others, their faith and patience in the work; Jesus condemned them for allowing a false prophetess to bring in a doctrine that taught and seduced His people to commit idolatry and sexual immorality. If not repented, these things will not go unpunished, but the overcomers will be rewarded. Churches today must be vigilant of what is being taught and who is teaching the people. Those members who did not follow her teaching were not punished but were encouraged to remain faithful till He returned. Jesus is the one who searches the minds and hearts of us all. Lord see if there be any wicked way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting.
