SALVATION Romans 13:11-14 Part 1 of 4

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now that when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. so let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh. 

The hour has already come 
1 Corinthians 7:29-31  What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
1 Corinthians 10:11  These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. (see 1 Corinthians 10:1-10)
James 5:8  You too, be patient and stand firm because the Lord's coming is near.
1 Peter 4:7  The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.
1 John 2:18  Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
Revelation 22:10  Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near."

for you to wake up from your slumber 
Ephesians 5:14  This is why it is said: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
1 Thessalonians 5:5-6  You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.
