Is there a cure for the sad situation in Laodicea? Yes, if those Christians will follow Jesus' counsel: "I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire that you may become rich." (Revelation 3:18a) True Christian "gold," refined by fire and with all the dross removed, will them "rich toward God." (Luke 12:21) Where can they buy such gold? Not from the local bankers but from Jesus! The apostle Paul explained what the gold is when he told Timothy to give orders to wealthy Christians " to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be liberal, ready to share, safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future." Only by expending themselves in this way could they "get a firm hold on real life." (1 Timothy 6:17-19) The materially wealthy Laodiceans should have followed Paul's advice and thus should become spiritually rich. - See PROVERBS 3:13-18.
