Revelation 3:15-16 "I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth."
We have all heard this verse before and thought to ourselves that we're not lukewarm because we're not on the fence. We have chosen to follow God. However, what many people can miss is that these verses are found in a letter in Revelation that was written to the church in Laodicea. Yes, indeed this is written to Christians such as you and me. God calls us to be either hot or cold, to be either for him or against him, there is no in between. See Francis Chan writes, "Lukewarm people say they love Jesus, and He is, indeed, a part of their lives. But only a part."Yes I know that Jesus may be a part of your life but is it just that, only a part? See a relationship with Christ is all you are for all he is! You cannot give him a part of your life and expect all he has to offer, it's a straight up trade.
God says that he would rather you be cold then lukewarm. This is not a figure of speech, God would seriously rather you be cold then lukewarm. If you aren't following God whole heartedly and you don't plan on changing then you are simply an imposter! Get in or get out! This is a difficult truth to swallow sometimes but we must make a decision. Give God ALL that you are!
Hot or Cold?
Choose.
Live it!
