Complacency is a smug or uncritical attitude of satisfaction towards one's accomplishments or achievements. This is nothing more than a hardening of the heart, an excess of pride, and a lack of love for the Gospel of God. It is easy to be satisfied with our walk in God, but this often puts us in a critical spiritual situations. Many Christians cry out to God in the midst of trials. When amazing things happen, we often praise God. However, there are times that are seemingly in between ,when life is ok and nothing short of satisfactory. When everything is going according to plan, do you still turn to God for ALL your strength? Beware the danger of becoming indifferent when life is "just fine".
Gardiner Spring writes, "What is indifference to the gospel, but a refusal to love it?... Though multitudes do this, who have no just impressions of the wickedness of so doing, yet is it their great sin, their damning sin, and the sin that binds the guilt of all their other sins upon them."
You will be judged for how much you know. Jesus declares in Luke 12:48, "But the one who does not know and does things deserves punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Your walk with God should be different five days, five weeks, and five years from now. Do not be satisfied with what you already have.
