Why does strengthening need to happen if the church is already dead?
Revelation 3:2 (ESV)
2Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die,for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.
Lest the congregation collapse completely, the elements that are still good need to be strengthened. And doing so is the congregation’s responsibility.
2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.
