Leap into the Light !

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light”

Ephesians 5: 8 (New King James version)

Flee from the darkness , Leap into the light ! When we go back to the beginning of creation we read Genesis chapter 1:4 , “And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.” Some translations use the word ‘separated the light from the darkness’ . It has always been very clear , where this is His light there is no darkness .

Are we children of light ? I’m sure if I was speaking this to a group of people I would have heard a lot of ‘Yes , Amen’. I know I myself would have shouted out loud. We read in 1 John 2: 9 , “He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.” :-) Time to think again ? There is no place for any bitterness , hatred , unforgiveness in our lives. Lord scrub away anything that is not of You in our lives. Make us clean !

We read in Luke 11: 34 , “The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.” That eye of covetousness , that eye of lust , that eye of jealousy , that eye of pride, that eye whose focus is solely on worldly gain... Notice that the word of God doesn’t say that when your eye is bad then darkness slowly creeps in … no . It says when your eye is bad then your body is FULL of darkness.

We read in Ephesians 5: 1-8 , “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light”
