AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 5:6 So then let us not sleep [in spiritual indifference] as the rest [of the world does], but let us keep wide awake [alert and cautious] and let us be sober [self-controlled, calm, and wise]. |
Subject: let us not sleep, but watch. |
Bible Note: "watch" means to stay awake and keep alert.Paul is not asking his readers to watch for the day of the Lord but rather to be spiritually prepared in order to escape the wrath of the day of the Lord .if we wish to escape the wrath of God, we must remain spiriually awake and morally alert, and we must continue in faith, love, and the hope of salvation(vv8-9); since the faithful will be protected from God's wrath through the rapture. we must not fear the day of the Lord, but must wait for his Son from heaven Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. |
