God used Romans 13 to awaken the sinful and sceptic Augustine and through giving him a new heart and a new mind gave him the desire to be alert, awake, ever wearing the armour of Light and the righteousness of Christ. Augustine became ready for the coming of Christ and God used him to become arguably the single most important thinker in Western Civilisation.
How do we stop hitting the spiritual snooze button in our lives and be always ready, alert, and ready for the return of King Jesus? We do this by daily acknowledging the truth that, through faith alone, we have been made saints in Christ Jesus. This truth equips us to face the darkness all around us, it is our armour of light against the dark.
