The Lord commanded us to lead a sober life, to constantly watch and observe ourselves, because, on the one hand, the hour of the Lord’s visitation is unknown, also the hour of our death, our calling to the judgment of God - it is unknown what temptation and what sorrow may unexpectedly arise and fall upon us; on the other hand, it is unknown what kind of sinful passion can arise in our fallen nature, what kind of cob and what kind of network the vigilant enemies of our salvation - demons - can create for us. “Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning. And you be like people who wait for their master to return from marriage, so that when he comes and knocks, they will immediately open the door for him” (Luke 12:35-36). “And what I say to you, I say to everyone: stay awake” (Mark 13:37).
