Conversation Starters

1. Read Romans 13:11-14.

2. What do you think Paul means that “our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed” (v. 11)?

3. Do you find yourself needing to “wake up from sleep” in any way? What do you need to do in order to wake up, and what would your life look like if you did this?

4. Are there any of the works of “the flesh” listed here that we tend to be more tolerant of?

5. Twice in this passage Paul uses the phrase “put on” in reference to putting on the “armor of light” and putting on “the Lord Jesus Christ.” What do you think he means by this? What does doing this look like in your own personal life?
