(Rom 14:2)  “For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. (3)  Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.”  Our pride compels us to be critical of others. Best we look to self before the Lord. He is their Master, not us.

(Rom 13:12) “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.”  and then  (verse 14) “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.”  To put on the armor of light is to embrace you are in Christ and should live like it.

“,,,and let us put on the armour of light. (13)  Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.”  When we see a professing believer take part in these social actions of the world, it draws doubt to their authenticity. “Light” can only shine if it is not being quenched by the actions of darkness.

(Rom 13:12) “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” I cannot help but wonder how much light each one of us has to see clearly in this world of spiritual darkness. To what degree have we allowed the Lord to open our eyes. The light is there, but have we yielded to it?

(Rom 13:12) “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” We live in a world of spiritual darkness – night. We are rapidly approaching the end, to the time of seven years judgment. It is at hand. Act accordingly.

(Rom 13:11) “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”  So, the believer can be in a spiritual slumber, the old nature causing a spiritual walking sleep. God help us to realize – our days to serve are limited, maybe even to just today!

(Rom 13:11) “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” Time for serving the Lord is running out for each of us. Why are we not bothered with the thought of having done so little in service to Him?

(Rom 13:11) “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” The average believer lives as if in a slumber world, a dream world in which one has no duties to perform – those are for the “called of God”. Yet, the Bible teaches us we have a service to render: (1Co 6:20) “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

(Rom 13:8)  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” then…. (11)  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” Our Lord’s coming in soon. If we don’t fulfill the obligation of love and honestly tell them of the need to repent and be born again, they will suffer eternal consequences.
