10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. -Revelation 3:10 BSB
The church in Philadelphia is a model for the believers in Jesus Christ today. A couple of signs that will follow a person who has been truly converted and has the Holy Spirit living inside of him is that he continues to keep God’s Word by believing in it and living it out. The other sign is that his faith doesn’t give up when his prayers seem not to get answered. His faith pushes him to persist in asking the Lord until he receives an answer. Not only is he persistent in prayer, but he also doesn’t get persuaded to abandon sound doctrine over the culture’s ideology to compromise the truth.
If these signs accompany you, you have been truly born again, and Jesus will rescue you from the coming wrath—the seven-year Great Tribulation that is fast approaching. If today you are not sure of your status with the Lord, now is the time to do so before He comes and catches you off-guard.
