Jesus is looking for works.
Revelation 2
1 "To...the church in Ephesus write....
2 "'I know your works....
4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.
5 Remember then from what you have fallen, repent and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
6 Yet this you have, you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 ...To him who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.'
8 "And to...the church in Smyrna write....
10 ...Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 ...He who conquers shall not be hurt by the second death.'
12 "And to...the church in Pergamum write....
14 But I have a few things against you....
16 Repent then. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 ...To him who conquers I will give ....
18 "And to...the church in Thyatira write....
19 "'I know your works....
20 But I have this against you....
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her immorality.
22 Behold, I will throw her on a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her doings;
23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches shall know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you as your works deserve.
25 only hold fast what you have, until I come.
26 He who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, I will give him power over the nations,
Revelation 3
1 "And to...the church in Sardis write..."'I know your works; you have the name of being alive, and you are dead.
2 Awake, and strengthen what remains and is on the point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God.
3 ...and repent. If you will not awake, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.
4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 He who conquers shall be clad thus in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life; I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
8 "'I know your works...you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
11 I am coming soon; hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.
12 He who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God....
14 "And to...the church in Laodicea write....
15 "'I know your works you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!
16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
18 Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
19 Those whom I love, I reprove and chasten; so be zealous and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
21 He who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne."
