Today's Generation Of Christians by Kei144(m): 6:14pm On May 12, 2016
The letter to the church in Laodicea is actually for you. The letter to the church in Laodicea comes last among the seven letters because the church in Laidicea re[resents the generation of Christians at the end of the Church Age.

Re. 3:14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.
Re. 3:15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!
Re. 3:16 So, because you are lukewarm — neither hot nor cold — I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
Re. 3:17 You say, `I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
Re. 3:18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so that you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so that you can cover your shameful unclothedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so that you can see.
Re. 3:19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.
Re. 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
Re. 3:21 To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Re. 3:22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Jesus says that today's Christians are lukewarm and warns that he could spit them out of His Body. How is he going to do that?

Mt. 24:9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
Mt. 24:10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
Mt. 24:11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
Mt. 24:12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,
Mt. 24:13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.


End time tribulations will begin this year, and we will see Mt. 24:9-13 playing out. The of many Christians for Jesus will wax cold. They will fall out of the Christian faith. This will happen before the rapture.

Re. 3:17 You say, `I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

Today's Christians believe that they know the truth of God's word. They believe that Apostle Paul simplified the gospel for them. Jesus became poor and they automatically became rich. Jesus became sin for them and they automatically became sinless. Their actual conducts do not really matter since their spiritual condition as believers in Jesus Christ makes God to always see them as righteous. Jesus took up their infirmities and bore all their diseases and forever healed them. But they still suffer from some diseases; when you confront them with this reality, they tell you that in the spirit realm they are not sick.

Jesus says that today's Christians are actually wretched, pitiful, poor, blind (they can't see the truth of God's word) and naked (very sinful). God sees today's Christians as being so sinful. This contradicts the whole point of today's gospel of grace.

Jesus counsels today's Christians to pay the price for divine power (gold), holiness (white clothes) and spiritual knowledge (salve for the eyes). These things are bought directly from him. Do you want to know the price? Go and read his messages during his earthly ministry.
