LUKEWARM

Revelation 3:15,16

"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." NIV


"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." KJV


Jesus Christ is the only one who walked through this life with no sin. The rest of us have sin in us. Some of us have the Holy Spirit in us as well. He does not abide well with sin, so there is always a conflict in us. We allow the Holy Spirit or sin to be greater. It is when we give them equal reign we become lukewarm. We have not made the decision and commitment that gets us off the fence. To the Lord, it is he same as if we have rejected Him and we will be cast away with the ungodly. Which one reins in our lives?


Heavenly Father, you have told us in your Word that we cannot serve two masters. You are God Almighty in our life or our own selfish natures are our god. We pray Lord for being able to make that commitment that makes us hot, fervent, and committed to you forever to you as your humble children. In Jesus' name, Amen.
