Are you lukewarm
"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation.
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!
So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." Revelations 3:14-22.
Here Jesus notes that the Laodicean church are neither cold or hot and that God wishes that they’d be one or the other.
They thought they needed nothing. Yet the truth was just the opposite.
Spiritually they were lukewarm and such people are hard to reach.
Jesus tells them to turn to Him and buy riches from Him. To buy salve for their eyes, that their eyes would be opened spiritually to their needs.
He calls them to repent. That He is there knocking on their hearts door waiting to be asked into their life.
For those who do open that door and repent of their sins they will get to sit with Him on His throne.
Question:
Are you lukewarm?
Do you believe you have all you need to be a follower of Christ Jesus?
Please think about it.
