“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” Romans 13:11-14
God is consumed with the significance of this scripture in Romans 13. It is the heart of God for the Body of Christ.
Here are some thoughts of God concerning your salvation:
Understand the season of God. It is a time of harsh judgments. Every human being on this planet will be touched by the retribution of God.
Awaken out of your sleep. Don’t take God for granted.
Confess your sins and open your heart up to the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
Develop a consciousness with God as part of your lifestyle.
The reality of your salvation is closer than ever before. You cannot two time God. He wants all of you.
Walk away from darkness into the light of Christ.
The armor of light comes to those who are anchored to God through the Holy Spirit.
Live in your new identity as a Christ follower. Ask the Holy Spirit to keep you grounded in Christ.
Pray diligently, invite the word of Christ to dwell richly in you in all wisdom and understanding, and listen for the voice of God.
Reject your fleshly desires for an aphrodisiac lifestyle. Find your stimulus in the life in Christ.
An admonition from Christ about avoiding the pitfalls of sin!
“You cannot live with Me and entertain evil thoughts in your mind. These thoughts come from your fleshly desires or temptations from Satan. If you allow these thoughts to become a desire then sin is conceived in your heart. Then it is only a matter of time for the sin to be lived out in your life. Flee from all evil thoughts. They will destroy you.”
