 Now, the author repeats the command of sober-mindedness and alertness. And let's stop for a moment and think about that. Remember, every time we see repetition in the Bible, we need to understand that that's not there by mistake. Nothing in Scripture is there by mistake. This is God's way of landing a snow. I want you to pay attention to this. I want you to not forget the command of being alert because we are prone to forgetting. We are prone to neglecting that or get too comfortable.
