“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.” – Rev. 3:19
The context here is a people lulled to inactivity because of overconfidence in self-reliance. Like an earthly father would discipline his child out of love, God wakes us up from our disobedient slumber and calls us to repent. All of which springs from His nature; life and love.
Wake up: Be zealous and repent!
