Thyatira was home to a significant Christian Church, mentioned as one of the Seven Churches of the Book of Revelation.
The believers were becoming more loving, yet not everyone was holding firm in the Gospel. Some were being led astray and embracing a compromising lifestyle.
The evil influence was beginning to infiltrate the church. In Thyatira, the evil teaching was being promoted and tolerated by believers; they were being misled to believe the teaching was spiritually acceptable.
Hans gives us insights into the letter that was written to the Church and the correction that Jesus had for its people.
