The Nature and Obligation of Watchfulness
Sketches of Four Hundred Sermons
Mark 13:37
And what I say to you I say to all, Watch.


I. WE MUST WATCH THAT WE MAY PREVENT EVIL.

1. We must watch against sin.

2. We must guard against the world.

3. We must watch against the temptations of the devil.

II. WE MUST WATCH TO DO GOOD.

1. We have to discharge all the duties we owe to God, and our fellow Christians and neighbours; to improve all our talents wisely and faithfully.

2. We must watch to do all the good that God has commanded us.

3. We must watch to do good in its proper season.

4. We must watch to do good in the appointed manner.

Application:

1. How naturally prone we are to become secure and careless.

2. That without watchfulness we shall become an easy prey to our worst enemy.

3. Without this we can perform no duty that will be acceptable to God.

4. Let us join prayer to watchfulness.
