What remedy did Christ offer the Laodiceans (vv.18-20)?
I read this passage and my immediate thought is that Jesus is telling us how to find salvation in the world of materialism. Buying Gold from Him is to listen to His words. Wearing white clothes is to be clean in the sight of God through Jesus by being his follower etc, but I think the key here is the passage "So be earnest, and repent". How many of us are not earnest in their repentance? How often do we say 'this thing that the Lord has bought to my attention, I need to give it up. Yes Lord, I hear you, thank you, I will not do that any more' yet go right ahead and do it again? In which case we are not being earnest. Our repentance is not repentance at all.
Hello, I wish to use this Blog to discuss Christian bible studies. I hope people will respect my views, but accept and look forward to healthy (respectful) debate. As you read this you will find links to bible study pages. The first study I'm doing is "The Beatitudes", which is the "Sermon on the Mount" - Jesus' most famous sermon. Enjoy. Additionally, remember that the questions are in reverse order, as the Blog posts in reverse date order.
