"A Generation Awakening!"
The Apostle Paul gives a stern warning, that in such a critical hour when some were 'asleep' figuratively, he purposely draws my attention towards this unchanging fact, that as one generation passes, another generation draws nearer to redemption, sooner rather than later.
Everyone must know that while sleep is a vital necessity for healthy living, Paul is referring to a state of mind occupied by thoughts other than the WORK of advancing God's Kingdom, a time sensitive message that must be delivered with priority.
At the time Paul wrote this letter to the Romans, I seriously think that he was confident that time was drawing to a close, for the world which he knew existed then, had never heard of Christ Jesus much less knew of God's Plan for the Salvation and the Redemption of man's soul.
As such today now some 2000 years after Paul's reference, there are many Believers who are faithfully proclaiming the arrival of a generation that could very well fulfill the Great Commission, and usher in those final days of which Christ spoke of.
While reading this scripture, I like so many before me, awaken to the impending reality of that long awaited day and hour, which means as each daybreak pierces through the eastern morning sky, all of mankind is yet one day closer to when Christ Jesus returns to claim HIS church of Faithful, True and Awakened Believers.
