Revelation 3:14-16
We know from the scripture passage above that God frowns at lukewarmness.
I pray you will not be lukewarm, and if you are, I pray you will not remain lukewarm.
Lukewarmness according to our text passage is referring to our spiritual temperature.
God doesn't want us spiritually warm.
It's either you are hot and on fire for God or you are cold spiritually.
To be cold spiritually is to be spiritually dead.
The dead have no temperature, they are stone cold.
Despite this, there is still hope for the dead.
God can work with the dead.
The scripture is full of examples of the dead being raised to life physically.
It also applies spiritually.
In Christ Jesus we are raised to new life and a higher spiritual temperature by God's Spirit.
Jesus makes the physically dead come alive. He can also take the spiritually dead and give them spiritual life.
John 11:25-26
The spiritually hot are those God is pleased with.
They are those who take their faith seriously.
The spiritually hot contend for true faith and don't joke with God's Word and the renewing of their mind.
Romans 12:2
The spiritually hot keep making an effort to know and grow in their God-given spiritual gifts.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11
The spiritually hot make an effort to be about the Father's business wherever they are.
Luke 2:49
Unfortunately for the spiritually lukewarm they get rejected by God.
The lukewarm are not cold spiritually because they have had relationship with God.
The spiritually lukewarm are not hot spiritually because they are not bothered to be.
The spiritually lukewarm are those who could not be bothered to know more about God, His Word or His work on the earth.
Their mindset is wrong and their passion is elsewhere.
They don't bother for excellence when it comes to the things of God.
They probably go to church services only during new years services, funerals, birthday thanksgivings, watch-night services, or baptism services.
The spiritually lukewarm look down on those who are spiritually cold and mock those who are spiritually hot.
The spiritually lukewarm have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof.
2 Timothy 3:5-7
A lukewarm Christian can be a hypocrite.
They probably know a few scriptures and gave their life to Christ years ago.
For them, that is enough.
God will reject such people.
