Salvation Is Near

📖 Romans 13:8–14 | Palmdale Church

This message calls us to live prepared, with lamps full of love, ready to meet Christ when He comes.

🔑 Main Points:

Travel Light (Romans 13:8–10)

* Don’t overcommit to worldly burdens; carry only what’s essential—love.

* Love is the oil that keeps our lamps burning and fulfills God’s law.

* Oil represents the heart of the Kingdom: God's love and grace.

Be Ready (Romans 13:11–12a)

* Wake up from spiritual sleep—salvation is closer than when we first believed.

* Live as people of the day, not the night.

* Keep your focus and don’t be distracted by unnecessary obligations.

Gratify God’s Desires (Romans 13:12b–14)

* Cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.

* Avoid excess, immorality, and selfishness.

* Instead, pursue holiness, identify with Christ, and make no provision for the flesh.
