“我要(将)......我的新名......写在他身上。” - 启 3:12

品牌重塑通常是指重新命名企业或机构,更新其标识和宣传材料。

非拉铁非教会将被重新命名,获得一个新的名字。他们拥有一扇敞开的门,是没有人能够关上的;他们被接纳为真正的神国的子民。那些试图劝阻和迫害他们的人将认识到,神的爱是赐给所有相信耶稣是救主和弥赛亚的人的。藉着信,复活的耶稣便是获得整全生命的路径。

非拉铁非教会也会在大试炼时期受到耶稣的保护。耶稣并没有说他们会免于试炼,而是说祂会保护他们渡过试炼。

由于他们抓住了耶稣的应许,非拉铁非教会将成为“神殿中的柱子”,成为神在世上永恒同在的一部份。他们身上会写上神的名、新耶路撒冷的名、上帝之城的名和耶稣的新名(这可能指的是启 19:11-16)。它们将被重新命名,以表明它们因信耶稣基督而属于神。

“凡有耳的,就应当听圣灵所说的话”。孩子般的信心和对“圣洁真实”者之名的坚忍,会使我们成为神永恒国度的子民,哪怕我们会遭受迫害。

祷告

满有慈爱的的神,愿我们随时随地、凡事都信靠你。求你坚固我们成为你的儿女的心志。阿们。

启示录 3:11-13

11我必快来!你要持守你所有的,免得人夺去你的冠冕。
12得胜的,我要叫他在我神殿中做柱子,他也必不再从那里出去。我又要将我神的名和我神城的名——这城就是从天上、从我神那里降下来的新耶路撒冷——并我的新名,都写在他上面。
13圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!’

Be The Church

"I will also write on them my new name." — Revelation 3:12

Rebranding often refers to renaming a business or institution and updating its logo and communication materials.

The church in Philadelphia was going to be rebranded, receiving a new name. They had been given an open door that no one could shut; they were recognized as true citizens of the kingdom of God. People who tried to discourage and persecute them would recognize that the love of God was directed toward all who believed in Jesus as Savior and Messiah. The resurrected Jesus was now the way to full life through faith.

The Philadelphia church would also be protected by Jesus through a time of great trial. And Jesus does not say he would take them out of the trial but would protect them through it.

As they held on to Jesus' promises, the Philadelphia church would become like "a pillar in the temple of God," a permanent part of God's presence in the world. On them would be written the name of God, the name of the new Jerusalem, God's city, and Jesus' new name (this may refer to Revelation 19:11-16). They would be rebranded to show that they belonged to God through faith in Jesus Christ.

"Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says." Childlike faith and perseverance in the name of the One "who is holy and true," even through persecution, will result in citizenship in the eternal kingdom of God.

Prayer

Loving God, may we trust in you for all things, at all times, in every way. Strengthen our resolve to be your family. Amen.
