Awake! Awake!

In this sermon on 1 Thessalonians 5:6, Charles Spurgeon warns Christians not to be spiritually "asleep" like unbelievers who are ignorant of God, insensitive to spiritual danger, unable to resist temptation, and inactive in doing good works. He argues that Christians have no excuse for sleeping since it's "daytime" (they have God's light), it's "wartime" (they're under spiritual attack), and the world is dying from the plague of sin while Christians have the cure—the gospel—but aren't sharing it. Spurgeon urgently calls believers to wake up and actively work to save souls, warning that being lazy and inactive when people are perishing is one of the greatest sins, and he also warns unbelievers that they're sleeping on the edge of hell and need to believe in Jesus Christ before it's too late.Sermon delivered on November 15, 1857.
