The Truly Woke!
We hear an awful lot about being "woke" in our modern day. It is certainly one of the most commonly used words in many parts of the world.
And yet, a verse in the Bible written about 2,000 years ago defines for us what it means to be truly "woke":
Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Awake thou that sleepest – and arises from the dead! This is the command of Christ directed towards His elect people-dead in their souls. The command to arise from sleep/death is what occurred once God saved the sinner and gave new life to his soul.
All the rest of mankind remain asleep/dead in their souls.
Therefore, only the elect child of God qualifies as being truly woke.
