Though the church in Sardis had a name that they were alive, the Lord Jesus Christ told them that they were dead. Though the church of the Laodiceans said that they were rich, wealthy, and had no need of anything, the Lord told them that they were wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. God sees differently from how men see, and many Believers and churches need revival by the Holy Spirit, being transformed by the Word of God.
