Additional Bible Reading

‘The Sevenfold Spirit’ 

 Revelation 1:4-5 is an apostolic greeting from John to the seven churches in Asia, bestowing grace and peace from the triune God: the Father (the eternal, unchanging one), the seven spirits (representing the Holy Spirit’s perfection or full ministry), and Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of all earthly kings. The passage continues by acknowledging Jesus’ love for believers and His act of freeing them from sin through His sacrificial blood. 

Greeting to the Seven Churches

4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood

— Revelation 1:4-5 NLT
