What is tepidity, and why does it matter? Tepidity is another name for spiritual lukewarmness, a condition where believers lose their passion for God. Just like leprosy, it creates a false sense of reality. Those afflicted believe they are rich and need nothing, unaware of their true wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked state.

It's a dangerous condition that can be passively acquired or actively through spiritual arrogance. The Jewish leaders of Jesus' time exhibited this arrogance, despising his divine ability to read their thoughts and expose hypocrisy. The warning in Revelation 3 implies that the last days will see a similar spiritual arrogance. We have been blessed with great truths, yet many of us fall into the trap of complacency, a spiritual equivalent of physical malaise.

Complacency leads to status quo thinking, where we say, "This is the way we've always done it." But would the early apostolic church have grown if they thought like that? I doubt it. Complacency is akin to the lukewarm condition of saying, "I have need of nothing," echoing the false reality of self-sufficiency.

The truth is, many are spiritually naked without the robe of Christ's righteousness. Remember Hans Christian Andersen's tale of "The Emperor's New Clothes"? The emperor believed he wore magnificent clothes, only to be exposed as naked. Similarly, spiritual tepidity blinds us to our true condition. We can't cover our sins with rituals or good deeds. We must face the truth: we're lukewarm.

So, what's the cure for tepidity? It's not isolation or condemnation. Unlike leprosy, the cure is simple: Jesus. Revelation 3:20 says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Jesus is the prescription for spiritual tepidity. We don't have to search for him; he's right there, knocking at the door. Its time to let Him in.
