Revelation 2:19

Revelation 2:18–29

The letter to the church in Thyatira warns Christians against combining their faith with pagan practices and worldly behaviors.

Revelation 2:1–3:22

The seven messages to the seven churches show the condition of Christ's church when Revelation was written, and it is similar today. God still calls Christians to be faithful and honest. Those who listen to Christ's message will receive God's promised rewards. Those who do not will face judgment.
