Apocalypse (Revelations) of John 2:17

Sinner to Saint is a four-day devotional about the transforming power of God’s grace. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, it reveals how God redeems our brokenness, gives us a new identity in Christ, breathes resurrection life into us, and reminds us that salvation is found in Jesus alone. Each day invites you to release the labels of your past and embrace the truth that through Christ, you are no longer defined by sin—you are called His saint.

In Revelation 2, Jesus addresses several churches. The believers at the church of Smyrna suffered severe persecution. Trials can produce trust, endurance, and spiritual richness. The believers at the church of Pergamum were a congregation that was married to the Roman and Greek belief systems. Jesus rebuked them for sexual immorality and idolatry, yet He commended them for being faithful to Him and not denying their faith.

In 100 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover who Jesus is and why he is so significant – even life-transforming. Through both Old and New Testament readings, you will discover why God sent Jesus, what Jesus taught, how he treated people, why he did miracles, the meaning of his death, the significance of his resurrection, and what the Bible says about his second coming.

Joy–a deep sense of well-being, regardless of circumstances–is accessible in a far-from-perfect world. Over the next five days, I hope you’ll get a taste of how good God is, even when the world is in chaos, and find that we have every reason to celebrate, to laugh, even to throw parties as we contemplate our place in God’s beautiful kingdom.
