1“And to the1angel of the church in Sardis write,‘These things says He who ahas the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.
2Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before1God.
3aRemember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and brepent. cTherefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you das a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.
4You have aa few names even in Sardis who have not bdefiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me cin white, for they are worthy.

Revelation 3:1-3
The next step after compromise is personal corruption that skews the works into a corrupt love, service, faith, and patience not in line with the Christ and therefore leading to the next phase, if there is no repentance and change in direction.
Brethren, in the churches Christ shows us a very personal path that can be followed if we are not careful to faithfully follow Him, as He is always there.
We must maintain the zeal of our first love, while facing the persecution that will come upon us so we can be perfected to be just like Him. But in this chaotic world we will be tempted to compromise, which leads to corruption, and then to death. This is a very real threat we need to take very personally.
