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. You say, "I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing." But you do not realise that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so that you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. (
Revelation 3:15-18)
"[In this passage, Jesus] asks them to give up what they thought was so necessary and valuable, in exchange for what really matters. As Tim Kizziar said, 'Our greatest fear as individuals and as a church should be not of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.'"
