| | The Future Salvation by John Murray
Topic: Salvation | | Description: Sleep is often a sign of health and contentment; but we should not be asleep when the house is on fire or when we should be working or when we should be praying; Paul speaks here about a sleep which is spiritual apathy, and says that even believers may need to be aroused from spiritual sloth; Paul urges us to consider the calendar of events and the passage of times; Paul looks forward to the salvation which will be completed at the return of Christ; that salvation is the hope and goal of God's people, who live in expectation of the resurrection; there is a date in the calendar when this future salvation will arrive; knowing that this appointed time is drawing near, we are to wake out of sleep; this should constrain us to pursue the love and integrity defined in this passage; time is not endless, but is moving to its consummation.
