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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Revelation 3:15-16<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To be spat out. Well, that\u2019s serious business. When would one use such uncomfortable words? Wouldn\u2019t it be when we\u2019re disgusted by something? When we\u2019re at a point when we can\u2019t hold something any longer and have to get rid of it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n So why would these words come from Jesus? This warning of calling it quits, this threat to reject. What kind of people would make Jesus say this? From the verse above, we can see that it’s those who are lukewarm. <\/em>Let\u2019s see what this means. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Lukewarm is something that was once hot but has lost its original heat, and now has only a little warmth left. When you\u2019re expecting something hot, but get something lukewarm – it\u2019s extremely dissatisfying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, imagine that you\u2019ve been planning to go to your favorite steak restaurant all week. On the day of, you make sure not to eat too much so you can fully enjoy that hot, delicious steak. Once you arrive and the steak is placed in front of you, you take that first bite and…it\u2019s lukewarm…The food has barely any warmth left in it and is not at all the hot, juicy steak you were hoping for. How would you feel? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Personally, I would be livid. I\u2019d either be asking for another fresh and hot steak, or walking away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Even in our personal relationships, being lukewarm affects us negatively. Say in your relationship, you are the only one who is trying. Your partner is indifferent, shows no enthusiasm for anything and is just kind of…there. How long can you drag out a relationship that is half-dead? Isn\u2019t a relationship supposed to be a two-way thing where both parties are willing to put in equal effort, care, and passion? <\/p>\n\n\n\n The same can be said in our relationship with God and Jesus. We must make sure that we are not lukewarm in our faith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We can already imagine what a lukewarm faith would look like after understanding the attributes of lukewarm things in our daily lives. A lukewarm faith is a complacent faith that has no action or zeal. To put it further, one has become stagnant in their walk of faith and is not making any efforts to grow in their relationship with God or to learn more, but still claims to love Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Do You Mean by \u201cLukewarm\u201d?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
