LIVING IN THE LIGHT

“All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.”

John 3:20-21 New Living Translation

     Those of the faith who do what the Lord wishes are not just “doing the truth”. They are thinking and saying it as well. Our thoughts come from what we have learned thru the course of life. We acquire them from the events, people or reading we have done for starters. These things help mold us into the person we become. Living apart from God gives you a life that is skewed by your influences. 

     Those who are outside the family of God think, say and do things that are not in line with God’s standards. Many times their deeds can be evil. They live in fear that their deeds will be found out. Though they are unaware of it, God sees and knows all things. Nothing escapes him or surprises him. Those who walk with God think, say and do what they do out in the open with no fear of others knowing. This comes from a clear conscience.

     Living a life that is free from guilt and shame is very liberating. Those who do evil shall be found out. They can fool the entire world but nothing fools Almighty God. Whenever you are confronted with a choice, consider that which would be pleasing to God and not man. Living in the light is what is expected of the true follower of Christ. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
