We would be forever lost and without relationship with almighty God. Without God’s grace, we could not be saved. We are saved because of the grace of God. The message of God’s love for us is powerful.

Two, unless we repent, Christ will administer justice to us.So it is with us! There is a time to be open, but there is also a time to be committed! unless they become fully committed, Christ will spit them out of His mouth. Christ felt this way about the church in Laodicea. When we drink lukewarm water, we want to spew it out of our mouths. They did not sense their need of spiritual help. Spiritually, instead of being rich, they were “‘wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.'”īecause of their spiritual blindness, they were neither cold nor hot, but only lukewarm. They claimed to need nothing without knowing that they needed everything in a spiritual sense. They knew they were wealthy and probably felt that they were above other churches. One, we must be on guard against being spiritually lukewarm!Ĭhrist issued a strong indictment against the church at Laodicea.The city was located about forty miles southeast of Philadelphia in what is now the western side of modern Turkey.

In Revelation 3:14-22 John delivered Christ’s message to the church at Laodicea.

People can be passionate about many other things such as automobiles, houses, clothes, political views, and movies, but they dare not be passionate about Christ and His kingdom.Īlthough this is a contemporary condition, it has been around a long time. Tolerance and so-called “open mindedness” are the watchwords of the day. Many times people think it is a mark of sophistication to not have any real passion about their faith in Christ.
