Spiritual Condition of the Church
Jesus’ Offer of Help
The idea to buy is used three times in this text-
Buy gold, buy white garments, and buy eye salve.
What is the problem with Jesus counsel to buy these things?
What did he just say about their spiritual state in the last verse?
They are beggars!
Jesus is telling them to buy things they cannot afford!
What is the solution?
GRACE!
But the way this is the same grace we will need if we are to be successful as a church!
What does Jesus counsel this church to buy?
Gold refined by fire?
What is that?
High quality faith!
Why did they need to buy gold?
They currently are beggars and Jesus will make them rich!
What else did they need to buy? White garments- the very righteousness of Christ
Why? clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen
What else did they need to buy? Salve to anoint their eyes.
The Importance of Self-Evaluation
How do we avoid being the the church of Laodicea?
We might not be pharisees who think we are saved, but are not.
But what if we look around at our church and we say-
“We are a pretty good church!”
“We are not like a lot of other wordly churches out there!”
What do we mean by that?
What criteria do we use to make the statement we are good church, we are not a wordly church?
But what if we are just like the Laodiceans?
We think we are rich, we think we are prospering, we think we need nothing, when in reality we are the exact opposite!
How can we really know?
What criteria should we be using to take an accurate self-evaluation of our church?
What would be a good tool that everyone in the church could use to take their spiritual temperature?
Church mission statement!
Faith Baptist Church exists to equip and inspire believers for Christlikeness unto the abundance of the glory of God.
How are you accomplishing the mission statement of the church personally?
Are you involved in church related ministry?
Is that ministry accomplishing our mission statement?
How can you change if necessary?
