Title: It's Time to Wake Up
Look at verse 11,
“And ye know the hour, that the hour has already come to awake from sleep.
for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.”
This period is called kairos in Greek.
This word does not refer to normal time
It is a word that means a special time, God's time.
Paul says that now is Kairos, the time of God.
That is why now is the time to wake up from sleep, the time to receive salvation and receive grace.
It is the time of the end of God, when we cannot sleep at all.
See verse 12.
“The night is deep and the day is near; therefore, let us put off the works of darkness,
Put on the armor of light.” The day of the Lord's return is not far off.
Doing things shameful to reveal in darkness
He hesitated and asked if he was just sleeping.
God has given us salvation to cast off the darkness.
What you have to do is put off your clothes of darkness and put on your clothes of light.
For that, look at verse 13.
To take off the garments of darkness, act modestly as in the daytime,
not in licentiousness and drunkenness, not in lewdness and sensuality,
There are four ways to avoid quarreling and envy.
See verse 14.
“Only for the sake of lust, clothed with the Lord Jesus Christ,
Do not seek the works of the flesh.”
The garment of light is the garment of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.
When the light comes, the darkness leaves.
We do not have the power to drive out darkness.
But it has the ability to receive light.
I can't drive out the darkness, but when the light comes in me
I believe that the light drives out the darkness.
Completely receive Jesus, the light, today.
Be humble before Jesus.
For when he comes in us,
Because he drives away all the powers of darkness.
yea, we all awaken from our spiritual slumber,
cast off the dark things,
Put on Jesus Christ, the armor of light, and walk modestly.
Through it, he not only fulfills his duty to the world
Creating a beautiful and holy world that is pleasing to God
I hope it will be you and me.
