  • The believer is a child of light
  • The believer is a child of the day.

2. Don’t Be Asleep Before Jesus Comes (6-7)

  • To watch means to be alert and on guard to live for Christ.
  • To be sober means to be rigid in discipline & control for Christ; to live a life of righteousness & godliness, ever watchful for the return of the Lord.

3. Do Be Awake (8)

  • Be Sober and Protected
  • Put on the Armor of God

4. Remember why you are to stay awake (9-10)

  • Not Appointed to Wrath
  • Christ Died for Us

5. Wake up Others (11)

    • Comfort - exhort, encourage, and admonish
    • Edify - strengthen and build each other up
