How much time do you really have left? In Romans 13, Paul urges believers to wake up and live, for "the night is far spent, the day is at hand." In this sermon, Dr. Toby Holt calls us to treat today as short and precious, living in the light of Christ's coming.

Questions this sermon answers:

1. What did Paul mean by "the night is far spent"? That the present age is passing and Christ's day is near — so believers should live with urgency and purpose.

2. What are we to cast off? "The works of darkness" — putting on instead "the armor of light," living as those who belong to the day.

3. What holds us back? Spiritual drowsiness and the pull of the night. Paul calls us to awake and number our days.

"The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light." — Romans 13:12 (NKJV)
