Nothing would be more devastating than to hear these words from Jesus, and it begs the question we all ought to ask:
How would you rate YOUR love and commitment for God? Is it close, devoted, and reverent? Or casual, presumptive, or lacadaisical?
If you don’t reverence the Lord as Almighty, the Creator who MADE YOU and LOVES YOU wholeheartedly and have not this same union with Him in your heart, your 'lukewarmness' might as well be ICY COLD.
Friend, if this is the case in your life, look inside your heart and examine where you stand with the Lord. If you need to rekindle your love for God, don’t stay in a rebellious or indifferent state! Instead pray:
Dear LORD, I have cooled my heart towards you. Please forgive me, Lord. I am so sorry, and I ask You to soften my heart, because I realize how much you love me. I don’t want to be lukewarm in my life towards you, but instead to rightfully honor you as my Lord and God with my whole heart on fire for you from this moment on for the rest of my life. — AMEN

Towering over two thousand feet above Rio de Janeiro stands Corcovado, the famous statue of Christ that sits dramatically above this beautiful South American city. The only way to walk to the top requires traveling up a single steep, challenging, twisting road. I should know as I hiked both up and down it and it was the toughest hike of my life!
If you were in Rio, and I were to ask you how to get to the top of Corcovado and you were to say that there were lots of different ways, it would be obvious that either you didn’t know or you actually thought that you did know. Others have actually said something similar regarding how to get to heaven.
Oprah Winfrey once famously proclaimed on her TV show that there were many roads to God (be it Buddha, Confucius, Allah, Self-Realization, 'Being Spiritual,' or just being a good moral person.) Sadly, this is also what many people also think and believe, but just like Corcovado there is only one road to get there, and this is to and through the Cross of Christ.
The next verse after today’s scripture speaks of an alternate route - a wide road that most people travel, but that road does not lead to the eternity that they had hoped. In fact the word in the original language says that it actually leads to the way of destruction.
Friend, you can believe any map that you feel leads you to heaven and God - or even no god at all. The question you have to answer, is which road is the right road? “Are there many roads to heaven, or just one road?”
Which road are you going to choose?

As a 17-year-old recruit in boot camp, I had been given the order to stand the midnight to 0400 watch over my barracks at Naval Training Center, San Diego. At one point in my rounds I stopped at the rear fire escape of the second deck above a canal that led out to the bay. Looking out over a moon-lit night lay the safety of the base fence. Cars drove silently along in the distance while lights of the houses up on the hills twinkled beneath a calm starry sky. And then this struck me…
What exactly am I guarding here? This is a recruit training base! We’re inside a protected border in a non-war zone of a major U.S. city housing one of the largest military bases in the country. So what was my purpose?
As today’s scripture verse says, those that Hear and Obey and are Watching are (and will be) BLESSED. In my watch, if I had gone to sleep or left my post I could have been severely reprimanded or even court martialed - as inconsequential as it was to the security of the nation.
The point is that no matter what you are given to do in this life, do it well and do it faithfully. There is a reward for all those that HEAR God’s voice and answer His call. It is not how big or important the watch we have been given, but how FAITHFUL we are in carrying out what we are called to do.
