Revelation 3:7–13 is Jesus’ message to the church in Philadelphia, commending their faithfulness despite having little strength. He assures them that He has placed an open door before them—an opportunity for gospel impact and spiritual reward that no one can shut. This door is open because of their obedience and perseverance, not their power. Yet the message carries urgency: the door is open for now. What is now open will one day be shut by Jesus. He calls the church to hold fast, promising eternal security and honor to those who overcome.
