This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Laodicea:
I am the one called Amen! I am the faithful and true witness and the source of God's creation. Listen to what I say.
I know everything you have done, and you are not cold or hot. I wish you were either one or the other. But since you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth.
You claim to be rich and successful and to have everything you need. But you don't know how bad off you really are. You are pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
Buy your gold from me. It has been refined in a fire, and it will make you rich. Buy white clothes from me. Wear them and you can cover up your shameful nakedness. Buy medicine for your eyes, so you will be able to see.
I correct and punish everyone I love. So make up your minds to turn away from your sins.
Revelation 3:14-19
When the value of any currency goes down the price of gold in that currency goes up. In today's world there are many people buying gold in order to protect and grow their wealth.
Jesus says we should buy our gold from Him. Then He makes an amazing statement. He says that the gold we get from Him has been refined in a fire and it will make us rich. This is the only trustworthy "get rich quick" offer. Satan tempts men and women with riches, but they all burn up in the fire. The riches we get from Jesus are purified in fire and we become eternally wealthy!
The next time you are enticed by stuff in this world remember what will happen to it when the fire comes. Then think about the gold you can get from Jesus. It is purified when the fire comes and owning that gold will make you a rich man forever!
"Lord, I offer You everything I have for just a piece of Your gold. Even one nugget of Your gold makes me richer than all the world together. Come quickly Lord Jesus. Amen."
