Jesus is Knocking, Will you Answer?

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20

The Lord is knocking at our door, He wants you to answer. He wants you to invite Him into your life. Some Christians are considered "lukewarm Christians." This type of believer is so common, that there are actually multiple warnings for them in the Bible.

“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." Revelation 3:15-16

A lukewarm Christian is neither hot nor cold in their relationship with the Lord. They feel spiritually satisfied but do not realize they are actually starving. They are not afraid of their sin, but rather, afraid of the punishment of their sin.

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness,(C) the ruler of God’s creation.(D) 15 I know your deeds,(E) that you are neither cold nor hot.(F) I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
