Revelation 3:16: Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. If we do not take the LORD seriously, we are being lukewarm. For example, thinking that we are good enough to get into heaven as we are, choosing to disobey some of the Church teachings we don't agree with, believing that God won't be too harsh on us, confessing your sins without genuine repentance (this is a most serious sin), lack of humility; trusting in God but slack in doing any work, not wishing to go all out for the LORD; not always meaning what you say, etc. Is all this being rather strict? No, because if you do take God seriously (are hot), your reward will be no less than eternal bliss in heaven!
