Thomas Watson preaches on the importance of understanding the brevity and challenges of life, likening it to a day with its shortness, vicissitudes, labor, and irreversibility, urging believers to not be overly attached to worldly things. He emphasizes that the Christian life is a constant warfare involving hardships, watchfulness, and combat, with Jesus Christ as the Captain and the promise of a glorious reward. Watson also delves into the preordination of each person's life by God, cautioning against delaying repentance and encouraging courage in fulfilling God's will. Lastly, he discusses the certainty and significance of the change that death brings, contrasting the dreadful change for the wicked with the glorious change for the godly, urging all to prepare for this inevitable transition with a holy change and a continual expectation of eternity.
