In the message to the Church of Laodicea, Jesus Christ instructs the recipients of the letter to 'buy from Him gold refined in the fire' - so that they might be truly rich. What is this refined gold that they were instructed to buy from God, what does it represent? What lessons can we learn regarding our own Christianity today?
