What does it mean to have our lamps burning as Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Having our lamps burning symbolizes a faithful readiness to serve and await Christ's return.

The instruction to keep our lamps burning is a metaphor for maintaining our faith and vigilance as we await Christ's return. This idea signifies that we should not merely profess faith but should have the life of grace actively sustaining us, illustrated in our readiness to serve. Just as a lamp requires oil to shine, our faith must be continually nourished by grace to reflect the light of Christ in our lives. A lamp without oil is useless, just as a profession of faith without real grace does not lead to salvation or service that pleases God.
