| − | This verse in [[Revelation 3]] reveals that although the church in [[Sardis]] appeared by superficial human standards to be, they were in fact judged by [[Christ]] to be otherwise. The church appeared to have a good reputation, but this image did not truly represent the church. Likewise today, the visible churches can be seen to be mixtures of the saved and false professors - mixtures of wheat and tares ([[Matthew 13]]:36-43) and of good creatures and bad ([[Matthew 13]]:47-48). The church in Sardis included those who would overcome, and those who would not not. Elsewhere in [[Revelation]], great promises are given to those who overcome ([[Revelation 3]]:4-5
