The church in Sardis received a message. God was aware of their reputation as being alive and thriving; but the truth was that they were dead. What they were claiming to do for God was not pleasing to Him. Those who would not mend their ways would find themselves on the receiving end of God's wrath. Those who did change would find God's pleasure displayed in their lives.
The church in Philadelphia was sent a message. They were a church facing many opportunities. They had remained faithful and would be kept safe from the impending problems that would also be faced.
The church in Laodicia was sent a message stating that they were neither hot nor cold. Their lukewarmness was repulsive to God. They needed to repent of their apathy and return to their original fervor for loving and serving God. The church is given the invitation to allow God back into their midst to enjoy fellowship once more.
