Awake and go! (Romans 13:11-14)

Last week we learned that love is the key, this is the way by which the Christians live their lives. This week, Paul would challenge us to “awake and go”, to leave off the deeds of darkness and to clothe ourselves in the Lord Jesus Christ, to put on the armour of light. We have come to understand that we are now children of God, we are to live for God, we are to love Him and love others around us. Paul would urge us on this week to really think about letting go of the things in this world that are unprofitable, that are sinful even. And so we take heed of the Spirit’s warning, we get up and we go as the sermon title suggests – awake and go, live for Jesus, love for Jesus. In addition, be prepared to carry your cross and deny yourself, letting go of the things in this world that are not of God, for Jesus is coming soon, let us all be ready for that day!
