Wake Up From Your Sleep

 

If you love someone, you will never do him wrong;

to love, then, is to obey the whole Law.

You must do this, because you know

that the time has come

for you to wake up from your sleep.

For the moment when we will be saved is closer now

than it was when we first believed.

The night is nearly over, day is almost here.

Let us stop doing the things that belong to the dark,

and let us take up weapons for fighting in the light.

Let us conduct ourselves properly,

as people who live in the light of day –

no orgies or drunkenness,

no immortality or indecency,

no fighting or jealousy.

But take up the weapons of the Lord Jesus Christ,

and stop paying attention to your sinful nature and satisfying its desires.

Romans 13:10-14
