MY FRIENDS, IS IT THE LIGHT WE ARE DRAWN TOO OR THE DARKNESS?
“Light is an electromagnetic radiation which encompasses X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet light, infrared light, radio waves, and visible light. But we as human’s only see one type of light: visible light. And without this light let’s say the sunlight no longer existed, then all photosynthesis on Earth would stop. In addition, all plants would die and, eventually all animals that rely on plants for food, including humans would also die.”
But today my friend, we need to focus on how do we create an opportunity for salvation through God’s visible light which is His word and Spirit, while at the same time this light along with His grace, seems to be getting dimmer each day throughout our world.
In addition, as God’s vessels not only maintaining this light from within but allowing it to also penetrate from God, through us, out into this world we live in, where God’s light is no longer visible to so many. So let’s start from “In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. Gen 1:1-4 (NKJV) Well one thing we do know is, Christ is the foundation or the beginning of all light, “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Cor. 3:11 (NIV)
So with Christ the Son of God, the foundation of our light source, this my friends is what we must seek daily, the pureness and holiness of “in the beginning,” before sin entered the world, when the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters, and God said let there be light and following that, earth and man was created.
Also, this same Spirit and light is within our reach if our faith will allow us to give our all to the one who holds the light in His hand and is willing to allow it to shine within our hearts and from there out to others. But we must be willing to follow Christ and receive the light of life as we reject the darkness from the god of this world, which leads to death.
Remember I stated earlier without this light all life as we know it would no longer exist including us. That is why we must be wise, building our character on the solid rock who is the light of all life “and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on our mind and body; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. The rock being Jesus Christ” Matt. 7 24-25 (NKJV paraphrased)
My friends, the darkness will continue to penetrate the world we live in, but our faith must be firmly rooted in Christ. “During this period of love, grace and mercy that is extended out to us from our Savior, we must first recognize Christ as our Savior and the light of His life from Calvary that leads you and I to life eternal.
We must also remember Christ is “longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Through His light” But one day if we are not grounded and rooted in God’s abounded love, as our Judge, the saddest words we will ever here once we cry out Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ will be depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness! For I know you not.
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
