AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 3:16 'So because you are lukewarm (spiritually useless), and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth [rejecting you with disgust]. |
Bible Question: In Revelation, Jesus states that if your luke wamr He would spew you out of His mouth..help |
Bible Answer: I think the simple point here is that Jesus hates complacency and lukewarmness! As the NAS margin says, the word is literally, vomit! Just as lukewarm water would make us gag under certain conditions, our lukewarmness, or lack of true commitment, makes Jesus sick to His stomach. After all He has done for us, with total commitment, how can we do any less for Him???? Thanks for the question, it made me re-think my commitment. Bill. |
