7. They are consumed by their God-given mission. They don’t want to keep their wonderful relationship with Christ to themselves. Because “Babylon the Great” is fallen, they plead with those still living in religious confusion, “Come out of her, my people” (Revelation 18:4). They long to share their confidence and their happiness with everyone else. Theirs is a healthy, fruitful fellowship that unites them to Christ and to one another in a great army carrying God’s last great message to people in a decaying world.

All this and more unites the hearts of the millions of last-day Christians described in the book of Revelation. Their life of joy leads them to join the apostle John in extending this invitation to you:

“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make your joy complete.”
—1 John 1:3, 4, margin.

Through His Spirit and through His church, Jesus invites you also to come and surrender everything to Him:

“The Spirit and the bride [church] say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.”
—Revelation 22:17
