Teaching Points Spiritual DiscernmentBelievers are called to actively listen and discern the voice of the Holy Spirit. This requires a heart open to God's guidance and a willingness to act on His instructions. Relevance to All Churches While the message was initially directed to specific churches, the call to hear what the Spirit says is relevant to all congregations and individual believers today. Active Listening Spiritual growth involves more than just hearing; it requires understanding and applying God's Word in our lives. The Role of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is essential in guiding believers into truth and helping them understand God's will for their lives. Responsibility of Believers Each believer has the responsibility to listen and respond to the Spirit's guidance, ensuring their life aligns with God's purposes.Verse 22. - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches. The seven messages were not merely separate admonitions addressed only to each particular Church, but all the epistles were meant for all the seven Churches, and, after them, for the universal Church. Each Church had an especial failing brought more emphatically before it; but still the seven warnings are one whole, for the edification of all. As it behoves the individual Christian to avoid and repent of all sin, and yet to fix his attention on the cure of some besetting sin to which he is peculiarly liable, so these messages, though intended to be read by all, and heeded by all, place vividly before each Church its besetting sin, which more particularly requires attention. And as the sins to be avoided are to be avoided by all, so the separate rewards arc promised to all who overcome. They are, therefore, not really distinct rewards, but rather different phases and views of one great whole, which shall be enjoyed in its entirety by those who have struggled victoriously with the trials and temptations of the world.
