First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange Texas

Romans 13:11-14 means that believers should wake up from spiritual slumber because salvation is nearer than when they first believed, and they should live a holy life by "putting on the Lord Jesus Christ". This involves casting off "works of darkness," like revelry, drunkenness, lust, and envy, and instead embracing "the armor of light" through actions of obedience, love, and righteousness. The passage is a call to urgent, holy living motivated by the imminent return of Christ.
