Apocalipse 3:16 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 3:16

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
&c.] A lukewarm professor is one that serves God and mammon; that halts between two opinions, and knows not what religion is best, and cares little for any, yet keeps in a round of duty, though indifferent to it, and contents himself with it; and is un concerned about the life and power of godliness, and takes up with the external form of it; and has no thought about the glory of God, the interest of Christ and truth; and this was too much the case of this church, at least of a great number of its members; wherefore it was very loathsome to Christ, hence he threatens:

I will spew thee out of my mouth;
this shows how nauseous lukewarmness is to Christ, insomuch that on account of it he would not own and acknowledge her as his; but even cast her out, unchurch her, and have no more any such imperfect church state upon earth, as he afterwards never will, this is the last; nor is there any church state, or any remains of one in Laodicea; it is indeed quite uninhabited.

Apocalipse 3:16 In-Context

14 “Ao anjo da igreja em Laodiceia, escreva:“Estas são as palavras do Amém, a testemunha fiel e verdadeira, o soberano da criação de Deus.
15 Conheço as suas obras, sei que você não é frio nem quente. Melhor seria que você fosse frio ou quente!
16 Assim, porque você é morno, não é frio nem quente, estou a ponto de vomitá-lo da minha boca.
17 Você diz: ‘Estou rico, adquiri riquezas e não preciso de nada’. Não reconhece, porém, que é miserável, digno de compaixão, pobre, cego, e que está nu.
18 Dou este conselho: Compre de mim ouro refinado no fogo, e você se tornará rico; compre roupas brancas e vista-se para cobrir a sua vergonhosa nudez; e compre colírio para ungir os seus olhos e poder enxergar.
