Revelation 3:1—3, ““To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the One who holds the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead. Wake up and strengthen what remains, which was about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God. Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you.” There is an accusation against the church and a warning, repent or face the consequences. Even though they thought they were on the right path, they had exited the Highway that is the way of the Creator.
