Why might some people feel complacent in their faith?

Answered in 1 source

Complacency may stem from a lack of genuine connection to God and His people.

Complacency in faith often arises when individuals may profess belief in Christ but fail to engage actively in the life of the church and the broader mission of God. In Numbers 32, the tribes of Reuben and Gad desired land that suited their needs but were reminded by Moses that they must first commit to fight alongside their brethren. This parallel serves to illustrate how some believers today might seek comfort without taking an active role in the communal aspect of faith. Genuine faith is evidenced by a willingness to participate in the life of the church and the spiritual battles alongside fellow believers, and when this is lacking, it can lead to a complacent attitude.
