What does the Bible say about spiritual complacency?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against becoming spiritually complacent, as seen in Hebrews 5:11-14, which states that believers can become dull of hearing.

In Hebrews 5:11-14, the author addresses a grave concern about spiritual complacency among believers. He points out that they have become dull of hearing, meaning they have lost their interest in the things of Christ. This spiritual dullness is alarming as it can lead to a debilitating lack of discernment between good and evil, particularly concerning the message of grace. Complacency in one's faith journey can result in a regression to immaturity, where a believer who should be a teacher of truth instead finds themselves needing to learn the elementary principles of the gospel all over again. The message illustrates how this dullness hinders spiritual growth and the ability to comprehend and discern deep truths.
