1 Thessalonians 5:6 “Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”SLEEPING or WATCHINGThe Word of God has a way of identifying you. If you are faithful, trustworthy, loving, caring, and compassionate, then you are one who understands what it means to “watch and be sober.”However, if you are not faithful or dependable—if spiritual things no longer stir your heart—then the Bible identifies you as a sleeper.Those in a deep sleep do not read their Bible, seek sound teaching, or attend a Bible-believing church where truth is preached. The outcome is tragic: such a person becomes easily deceived, and often ends up deceiving themselves.To “watch and be sober” means to stay spiritually alert—watchful for God’s truth, His ways, and His direction—so that you may walk rightly and behave as one who belongs to Christ while journeying through this world.
