"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

Revelation 3 continues Jesus’ messages to the churches, exposing their true spiritual condition whether alive, weak, or lukewarm showing that He sees beyond outward appearance. He calls for repentance, watchfulness, and wholehearted devotion, urging them to strengthen what remains and not grow complacent. Those who are self-satisfied are warned, while those who remain faithful are encouraged. He stands ready for fellowship with those who respond, and promises that those who overcome will be established with Him: secure, known by Him, and sharing in His authority.

"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:”

“Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:”

Know What You Believe
Jonathan Whitfield was preaching to coal miners in England.
He asked one man, “What do you believe?”
“Well, I believe the same as the church.”
“And what does the church believe?”
“Well, they believe the same as me.”
Seeing he was getting nowhere, Whitfield said, “And what is it that you both believe?”
“Well, I suppose the same thing.”
Many Christians seem to know as much about what they believe as that coal miner.
2 Timothy 2:15
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”

“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.”

She couldn't walk to church. She couldn't visit the poor. She couldn't teach Sunday school or organize charity drives. For nearly five decades, Charlotte Elliott barely left her bed.
And it was destroying her from the inside.
Born in 1789 into a privileged English family, Charlotte had everything ahead of her — talent, education, wit, charm. She painted portraits. She wrote poetry. She was the kind of woman people remembered when she left a room.
Then, in her early thirties, illness took it all away.
The diagnosis was never clearly named. But the result was unmistakable: Charlotte would spend the rest of her life as an invalid, watching the world move without her. Watching her brother preach sermons. Watching her sister-in-law organize charity bazaars. Watching her friends do the very things she ached to do for God.
She didn't feel forgotten. She felt worse than that. She felt useless.
Then, one evening in 1822, a Swiss evangelist named César Malan sat across from her at her family's home in Brighton, England. Charlotte, raw and honest, asked him the question that had been eating at her soul:
"How can I come to God? I have nothing to bring. I can do nothing for Him."
Malan's reply was four words that would quietly change history.
"Come to Him just as you are."
Not when you're healed. Not when you're stronger. Not when you've figured it all out or cleaned yourself up or finally become the person you think you should be.
Just as you are. Right now. As you are.
Charlotte carried those words for thirteen years.
In 1835, her brother was organizing a charity bazaar — raising money for a school for daughters of poor clergy. The entire family was busy helping. The house buzzed with purpose.
Charlotte lay in her room. Alone. Unable to contribute a single thing.
The old shame came flooding back. What good was she? What could a bedridden woman possibly offer?
But then Malan's words returned: Come just as you are.
So that night, alone in her room, she did the only thing she could do. She picked up a pen. And she wrote — not for publication, not for posterity, not for Billy Graham or stadium crusades or television broadcasts that hadn't been invented yet. She wrote because she needed to.
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
She wrote six verses. Each one began with "Just as I am." Each one ended with "I come, I come." Each one described exactly what she was: weak, doubtful, conflicted, broken. And each one said the same thing — God welcomes you anyway.
Her brother published the hymn in 1836. It spread quietly through England, then crossed the Atlantic, then kept going.
Charlotte Elliott died in 1871 at age 82. She had written over 150 hymns. She never knew or imagined what would happen next.
Because nearly a century later, a young evangelist from North Carolina began holding crusades in stadiums around the world. His name was Billy Graham. When he finished preaching, he asked people to make a decision, to stand up, to walk forward — he always played the same hymn.
Just as I am.
For more than six decades, from the 1940s into the 2000s, that song played as people stood up in stadiums across America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Over the course of his ministry, Graham saw more than 3 million documented decisions for Christ — countless of them made while Charlotte's words filled the air.
The woman who felt she had nothing to give wrote the words that became the soundtrack to one of the greatest evangelistic ministries in modern history.
She never knew.
She came to God broken, bedridden, and convinced she was worthless. And from that exact place — from the rawest, most honest moment of her inadequacy — came words that told millions of other broken people the same thing someone had once told her:
You don't have to be fixed first. You don't have to be strong. You don't have to have it all together.
Come as you are. You are wanted exactly as you are.
