Revelation 3:7-13 - Philadelphia: Patient Endurance

“The letter to the church at Philadelphia - the city of “brotherly love” - is one of only two of the seven letters in Revelation that contains no rebuke. Jesus has words of encouragement, recognition and promise for these beleaguered believers that have powerful relevance for us as well. The joy of being named and known by God should lead Christians to confidence and stepping through open doors of ministry and influence."
