There is a phrase in Romans 13 that gives urgency to the teaching Paul is presenting… “Understanding the present time, the hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.”

This is a teaching that everyone needs to understand. It is the difference between eternal life and eternal death. It is the difference between having a relationship with God and fooling yourself into believing you have one, but don’t.

The teaching is not cryptic. It is clear and understandable and therefore we are responsible for it.
