Deuteronomy 30: "But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it. Deuteronomy 30: "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, 20 by loving the L-rd your G-d, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the L-rd swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them." 1

3 Revelation 1:4, 16 4 John to the seven congregations that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne. 16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength. Mathew 28:18 18 And Yeshua came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. I. Yeshua KNOWS our spiritual CONDITION. Revelation 3:1 A. Background of SARDIS B. Yeshua has all POWER, authority and CONTROL C. Yeshua SEES how we LIVE 1 "To the angel of the congregation in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of G-d and the seven stars, says this: 'I know your deeds, that you have a name, that you are alive, but you are dead. Matthew 23: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. 28 "So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. Matthew 7: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'L-rd, L-rd,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 "Many will say to Me on that day, 'L-rd, L-rd, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? 23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' 3

4 2 Corinthians 5:10 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Revelation 3:2 2 'Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My G-d. 1 Samuel 16:6-7 6 When they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, "Surely the L-rd's anointed is before Him." 7 But the L-rd said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for G-d sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the L-rd looks at the heart." 1 Corinthians 3:13; 4:5 3:13 each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. 4:5 Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the L-rd comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from G-d. 4

5 Revelation 3:3 3 'So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. 1 John 1:9 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Proverbs 28:13 13 He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion. 2 Samuel 12: 'Indeed you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and under the sun.'" 13 Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the L-rd " and Nathan said to David, "The L-rd also has taken away your sin; you shall not die. Psalm 32:5 5 I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the L-RD"; and You forgave the guilt of my sin. 5

6 Psalm 51:1-4 1 Be gracious to me, O G-d, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against You, You only, I have sinned and done what is evil in Your sight. Psalm 51:7,9,10,14,17 7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 9 Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O G-d, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O G-d, the G-d of my salvation; then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness. 17 The sacrifices of G-d are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O G-d, You will not despise Revelation 3:3 3 'So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. C. Yeshua gives us HOPE and ENCOURAGEMENT C. Yeshua gives us HOPE and ENCOURAGEMENT Revelation 3:4 3 'But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; 1 Corinthians 4:1-4 1 Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Messiah and stewards of the mysteries of G-d. 2 In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy. 3 But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. 4 For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the L-rd. 6

7 Revelation 3:4 4 'But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. 1 Corinthians 9: Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 25 Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things they then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Revelation 19:7-9 7 "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready." 8 It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. 9 Then he said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb '" And he said to me, "These are true words of G-d." Revelation 3:5 5 'He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; 7

8 2 Peter 1: Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; 11 for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our L-rd and Savior Yeshua HaMashiach will be abundantly supplied to you.

9 John 10: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 "I and the Father are one."

See, I have gained five more talents.' Matthew 25:14, "His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.' Luke 19:15, "When he returned, after receiving the kingdom, he ordered that these slaves, to whom he had given the money, be called to him so that he might know what business they had done. 17 "And he said to him, 'Well done, good slave, because you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over ten cities.' 9
