Are You Truly Living for Christ or Just Going Through the Motions?

Are You Truly Living for Christ or Just Going Through the Motions?

In Revelation 3:15-16, Jesus delivers a powerful message to the church in Laodicea: "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth." These words are a stark warning about the danger of complacency in our faith.

Jesus isn't looking for a half-hearted commitment. He desires our whole hearts—passionate, fervent love and devotion. Yet so many of us live in the dangerous space of being lukewarm. We know about God, maybe even attend church and say the right things, but do we truly hunger for Him? Are we just going through the motions, or are we actively seeking His presence and His will in our lives?

Do you hunger for God, or are you content with a little religion?

The time for half-hearted faith is over. Jesus calls us to real surrender—one that impacts every part of our lives. We can no longer afford to let our relationship with Him be something we do out of routine or obligation. True faith requires everything—our heart, soul, and mind.

In Joshua 24:15, we are urged to make a choice: "Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve." There is no middle ground in the Kingdom of God. It’s either full commitment or none at all.

Jesus calls us to love Him with all that we are: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). This means placing Him at the center of everything—our decisions, our relationships, our priorities, and even our daily routines.

Will you choose today to wake up and follow Him wholeheartedly?

Now is the time to let go of any lukewarm faith and step into the fullness of what it means to follow Christ. The question is: What will you do?

Will you continue with your life as it is, or will you choose to surrender fully to Him, living out a faith that is burning hot, passionate, and real?

The time for real surrender is now. The time to choose to live for Christ wholeheartedly is today. Will you choose Him?
