Revelation 3:11 Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. The last thing in the matter of this Epistle, is Christ’ s gracious advertisement unto this angel and Church; amplified, First, By an assertion, I come quickly, See KNOLLYS: Revelation 2:16 and See KNOLLYS: Revelation 3:3 but more especially See KNOLLYS: Revelation 1:7 Secondly, By a precept or charge, hold that fast which thou hast; which implies, First, That this Church, and her ministers and members, had received saving grace, spiritual gifts, and gospel liberties from Christ. Secondly, That they ought to hold fast the faith which they had received, and to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ had made them free, 1 Corinthians 16:13 and Galatians 5:1. And Thirdly, By a word of caution, that no man take thy crown, which contains both a promised and a possessed reward of grace and glory; a crown of grace given and enjoyed; and a crown of glory promised, and hereafter to be received, Isaiah 28:5; 1 Peter 5:4 and James 1:12. That crown of grace received, was, that which they are here charged to keep; and not to lose that royal dignity and crown of Glory, which they had obtained who had kept the Word of Christ, and not denied His name.
