Keep Christ's Clothes On (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)
Pastor Aaron Ude, November 12, 2017Part of the Sunday Sermons series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
If you are asleep when Christ comes, do you miss out on going to heaven? If you are doing something shameful when Christ comes do you go to hell? In the text today, Paul is going to show us and comfort us with what makes someone a "child of day" (who shall inherit salvation) instead of a "child of darkness" (who shall obtain wrath). What makes someone a child of day is that by faith they are wearing the Clothes of Christ. (The rest of the sermon is available on the sermon page or can be watched on our YouTube page . The link to that is to that is up and to the right)

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. (KJV)
