Each of the seven churches suffered from something that had the power to hinder them from overcoming. As believers, we face the same things in a life-long battle for our soul, and for the church: a wrestling match with the world, the flesh, and the devil. Overcoming isn’t easy, but if we focus on Christ, the giver, the one who already overcame the world, the flesh, and the works of the devil, none of these things will separate us from Him who's given us the key to overcoming, and that is by simple faith in Him. VF-2048 Revelation 2 Revelation 3 Romans 8:31-39

The church at Laodicea was the worst of the seven churches, being temporally wealthy and spiritually destitute. They became lukewarm and pushed Christ out of the church. Then and today, God chastens the ones He loves when they drift away. If we hear Him, the door of grace is still open and we shall overcome by faith. Revelation 3:14-22

The church at Philadelphia was a church with little strength. Christ has the keys of David, power and authority over all the world and over all who will enter through the door. To those that hold fast to the truth of the Gospel in the face of those that refuse to recognize Christ, there is the promise that they will not be put through the hour of trial; they will be placed immovably in the presence of God, as He first intended us to be. VF-2046 Revelation 3:7-13
