Sermon Text: Romans 13:11-14 (ESV)
11 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. 12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
Sermon Theme: “The Gifts of Christmas” – Salvation
– Is God’s great gift of salvation a future gift, or a gift we have even now?
(v. 11b, see Luke 19:9)
– What makes the day of our salvation such a great gift? (see Revelation 21:3-4)
– Since we know that the “day” of our salvation is at hand, what should we do while we watch and wait? (v. 11a, 12-14)
