"An Open Door"
Revelation 3: 7-13

Revelation 3:7-13
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

God’s promise...
God has not forgotten you
The future is bright
Don’t give up

Filadelfia: La Iglesia con el verdadero poder.
==========

Apocalipsis 3:7-13
Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Filadelfia: « E l Santo, el Verdadero, el que tiene la llave de David, el que abre y nadie cierra, y cierra y nadie abre, dice esto: “Yo conozco tus obras. Mira, he puesto delante de ti una puerta abierta que nadie puede cerrar, porque tienes un poco de poder, has guardado mi palabra y no has negado mi nombre. He aquí, yo entregaré a aquellos de la sinagoga de Satanás que se dicen ser judíos y no lo son, sino que mienten; he aquí, yo haré que vengan y se postren a tus pies, y sepan que yo te he amado. Porque has guardado la palabra de mi perseverancia, yo también te guardaré de la hora de la prueba, esa hora que está por venir sobre todo el mundo para poner a prueba a los que habitan sobre la tierra. Vengo pronto; retén firme lo que tienes, para que nadie tome tu corona. Al vencedor le haré una columna en el templo de mi Dios, y nunca más saldrá de allí; escribiré sobre él el nombre de mi Dios, y el nombre de la ciudad de mi Dios, la nueva Jerusalén, que desciende del cielo de mi Dios, y mi nombre nuevo. El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias” ».

1.    El Dios de las puertas abiertas.
“Yo se todo lo que haces y te he abierto una puerta que nadie puede cerrar. Tienes poca fuerza…” v. 7-8.

a.    Fe y Firmeza.
b.    Es Dios quien me fortalece.                                            
       2corintios 12:10.

Para nuestro Dios, el “poco poder” y los “muchos adversarios” no son mas que puertas abiertas para manifestar su gloria.

2.    Hay que leer la Palabra Cristocéntricamente.
“…has obedecido mi palabra y no negaste mi nombre” v. 8.

a.    La palabra nos lleva a Cristo.
b.    Cristo nos envía al mundo para mostrar fidelidad.

Si alguien quiere sentirse orgulloso de algo, que sea de conocerme. 1corintios 1:31.

3.  Hay una recompensa: Un lugar en el Reino de Dios.
