Revelation 3:1 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The seven spirits of God — The Holy Spirit, from whom alone all spiritual life and strength proceed. And the seven stars — which are subordinate to him. Thou hast a name that thou livest — A fair reputation, a goodly outside appearance. But that Spirit seeth through all things, and every empty appearance vanishes before him.

Revelation 3:1

1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
