what is a lukewarm Christian as mentioned in Rev 3?
people usually think that lukewarm Christians are not 'on fire for the Lord'...that they are self-satisfied and overly-content and aren't busy doing things that matter to God.
i disagree.
lukewarm Christians are neither hot nor cold for the -true Gospel-. it is not that they do not evangelize enough, it is that their Gospel has been infected. ...not infected by wealth, but infected by the Law. they mistakenly think that they are 'rich and have everything they want' because they have added the Law to the true Gospel. you see, people who only have the Gospel tend to, as a figure of spiritual speech, think they are poor; they then look for something that will make them 'rich' and find the Law; they then grab onto the Law...and believe they have 'everything they need'.
Takeaway
lukewarm Christians add the Law to the true Gospel.
Application
it is suitable to believe the true Gospel, not the Law-infected one you will commonly hear
