Revelation 3:1–6 warns Sardis that a reputation for life can conceal spiritual deadness. Christ calls the church to wake, strengthen what remains, remember what it received, repent, and watch. The promises of white garments, an enduring name in the book of life, and Christ’s confession before the Father present perseverance as the evidence of genuine life.
