 For we must always serve Him with the good things He has given us in such a way that He may never, as an angry father disinherits his son or even like a master inspires fear, grow impatient with our sins and consign us to everlasting punishment, like wicked servants who would not follow Him to glory. So we should at long last rouse ourselves, prompted by the words of Scripture. Now is the time for us to rise from sleep.
