Are You Hot Enough for God? The letter to the Laodicean church may be the best known of the seven Revelation letters. But for many Christians it is also the most troubling letter. The difficulty stems from the rebuke spoken by Jesus: 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 realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. (Revelation 3:15–17) What does it mean to be lukewarm? Many commentators define lukewarmness in terms of apathy or a lack of zeal. “It’s better to be on fire for God or coldly opposed to him than be halfhearted in the middle.” This interpretation has become so widely known that even outside the church the term lukewarm is synonymous with apathy and complacency. But there are at least three problems with interpreting lukewarmness in terms of zeal.
