Known alive but dead in reality

Revelation 3:1: “I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.”

We might consider ourselves to be very spiritual and good people, but God sees our hearts. Nothing is hidden from His eyes. Our real spiritual state might be very different from what we think about ourselves. Do not be proud, but humble yourself before him, because yourself perception can be absolutely wrong and this can get you into real trouble. Humility will help you to get into spiritual shape. It will also help you to see from God perspective. This will eventually revive you and help you to move from spiritual death into spiritual life.
