Members of the Faithful Church keep God's Word. They know God and are known by God (Galatians 4:9). They understand that if they were to fall away, they are to be renewed again unto repentance; because believers crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame when they fall away (Hebrews 6:6). Jesus warns believers to hold fast and to not leave themselves open to having their crown taken. This warning to hold fast is direction for believers to persevere while living in this world--to stay focused on the things of the Kingdom.
Members of the Faithful Church do the will of God---"Jesus said that whoever does the will of God the Father is His brother and sister (Matt 12:50). Since Jesus is the Son of God and gave His life for the believer to be reconciled to God the Father, all those that confess Jesus to be their Savior and Lord and do the will of God are also children of God.
Salvation is an open door, but once saved God requires every believer to do His will. If God required Jesus to do His will, surely He requires all those who have been saved by grace through faith to also lay aside their will for His will (Ephesians 2:8-9)". (Excerpt from the 7 Churches Self-Assessment Tool).
Jesus (the Bridegroom) is coming back soon for His Bride (the Church). Bride stay focused.
