spiritual blindness
1. The city of Laodicea was situated in the fertile basin of the River Lycus.
C. Naturally, commerce and transportation were developed, and it was a place where quality and famous wool were produced.
I prayed.
2. The city's finances were very generous. In AD 17, there was a great earthquake,
It was a prosperous city that did not need the help of the city.
3. But they had nothing to offer except that they had a lot of money.
He was choosing to be moderate in his business.
4. The church should always be a lamp that illuminates the society at any time.
It must always be filled with oil.
5. However, the church in Laodicea was not an exemplary church.
lacked
I. Became spiritually blind (15-17)
A. It was neither cold nor hot.
1. The Lord pointed out in detail the reality of the Laodicea church.
And he didn't want these things to happen to the believer again.
2. Their biggest problem was that they were neither cold nor hot, nor were they lukewarm.
One thing was that the waters of Laodicea were "tepid" as if the hot springs had cooled.
That is, they seem to have been influenced by the water they usually drink.
3. To say that a believer's actions are lukewarm means that there is no clear confession of the truth.
There is no doubt that he is a church-going believer.
There was no "dot".
4. A believer must be clear about something "different". The problem is that there is no.
In verse 5.17, “If you say, ‘I am rich, I have prospered, and I lack nothing.
They do not know the wretched and the pitiful and the poor and the blind and the naked."
I knew I was going to talk about myself, but I didn't know my true self.
B. It must be cold or hot.
1. The Lord's response to the church in Laodicea is the commandment to choose between the two.
It was a commandment. It means either betrayal at all, or be loyal to death.
2. Those who have a lot of experience in evangelism say, "Those who are completely opposed to
I don't believe people who say, "I have potential, but I go out in front of people!"
All.
3. The Lord tells us, "If you do not choose between cold or hot, you will vomit in your mouth.
and get off," he said.
II. The problem must be solved (18-19).
A. Turn poverty into gold.
1. What does it mean to say that the church is rich in finances and the believers are poor, but the church is rich
is it? They were materially rich, but spiritually poor.
2. The solution to the problem is to profess faith with their rich material and to be spiritually rich.
It means that it must be changed into a state. Matter is a sign of the mind. If matter cannot accompany it,
It is proof that there is no heart. Those who truly love God give everything freely.
can roll
B. Get dressed.
1. He said to change the clothes of nakedness into robes, but the saints need clothes of precious blood.
The clothes that have been cleansed by the blood, these must be the clothes of the saints.
2.Women are sensitive to clothes. They buy new clothes when there is a new trend.
I want to wear it. I wonder what their spiritual clothes are like. For those who have clothes of blood,
No more clothes needed.
C. Apply eye drops.
1. It is because we cannot see the spiritual world. We have not seen the spiritual world and the afterlife.
2. If you do not believe in heaven and hell, you are not a believer.
D. Let go of indifference.
1. Real change starts with interest. What are you interested in? very important
That's a problem.
2. Think of the Lord, but let's be more interested in accomplishing the Lord's will.
conclusion
1. Neither cold nor hot is coming closer to us, and there are already many
is a sign that people are infected.
2. But the Lord never sees such a condition. It must be liquidated.
That's a problem.
3. So the Lord commands us to be spiritually awakened. What about the rest of our lives?
Would it be worthwhile to write?
