What does the Bible say about spiritual lethargy?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible warns against spiritual lethargy, urging believers to wake up from their slumber and actively pursue their relationship with God.

In Romans 13:11, the Apostle Paul exhorts believers to awake out of sleep, indicating that spiritual lethargy is a real struggle for Christians. The Lord commands this awakening because, despite moments of rapturous communion with Him, believers often fall prey to indifference and neglect their relationship with God. This slumber is marked not only by gross immorality but also by a lack of zeal for the things of God, which leads to a spiritual barrenness. Therefore, continual vigilance and devotion to Christ are essential in combating this tendency to sleep on in indifference.
