What does the Bible say about lukewarmness in churches?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against lukewarmness, describing it as a state of being neither cold nor hot, which leads to spiritual blindness and rejection by Christ.

In Revelation 3:14-21, Jesus speaks to the church in Laodicea, condemning their lukewarm state. The church considered itself rich and self-sufficient, yet Jesus declared them wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. This epistle serves as a warning that, even when a church appears outwardly successful, it can be spiritually bankrupt. The danger of lukewarmness lies in self-deception, where churches or individuals fail to recognize their true spiritual condition, leading to a lack of fervency and zeal for the gospel.
