"Never judge a book by its cover" is a modern-day saying, but over 2,000 years ago, the apostle John said essentially the same thing. The small, run-down, persecuted ancient church of Philadelphia was filled with Nike Christians (really!) who were faithful pillars in their community. Despite external appearances, this tiny and faithful church had the keys to God's kingdom, while other larger churches with more earthly status were judged as faithless, compromised and even dead!

Summary: Be Nike Christians like the Church in Philadelphia. Just do it! Win the prize for your faith under trials.
