Today’s Christianity is mesmerized not by the beauty of the gospel of the water and the Spirit, but by the beauty of the world. The seven churches in Asia had served the Lord by believing in the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross. But, as shown in the Bible, they, too, in part succumbed to the world, as the gospel of the water and the Spirit was increasingly pushed out, and in its place came the world to occupy more and more of the people’s hearts.
