The promise made to the overcoming believer. It is here implied, (1.) That though this church seemed to be wholly overrun and overcome with lukewarmness and self-confidence, yet it was possible that by the reproofs and counsels of Christ they might be inspired with fresh zeal and vigour, and might come off conquerors in their spiritual warfare.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He tells them, (1.) It was given them in true and tender affection: " Whom I love, I rebuke and chasten. You may think I have given you hard words and severe reproofs; it is all out of love to your souls.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He who is Himself "the Door," and who bids us "knock" that it may be "opened unto" us, is first Himself to knock at the door of our hearts.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed
