So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.

1 Thessalonians 5:6

Paul is urging the early believers to live watchfully, prepared for Christ’s return, not lulled into complacency by the world’s distractions. Being “awake and sober” isn’t just about vigilance, it’s about living with purpose, wisdom, and a heart tuned to God’s voice, even when others slumber in indifference.
