"The Light That Shines Out of the Darkness"

“The Light That Shines Out of the Darkness”

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His Light shine in our hearts to give us the Light of the Knowledge of God’s Glory displayed in the Face of Christ.     2 Corinthians 4:6



In the account of the Creation of the World, God called LIGHT out of the DARKNESS, which is the physical LIGHT. (Gen. 1:2-4) So in SPIRITUAL CREATION, God brings HIS LIGHT to the DARKENED HEARTS of those who are LIVING in SIN.  This LIGHT is KNOWLEDGE of GOD’S GLORY, His SALVATION, which is SEEN in the FACE of CHRIST, who is NOT ONLY the SON of God, but is GOD in the FLESH.  And there is SALVATION in NO OTHER person, way or means.   ONLY through the SHED BLOOD of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the LIGHT of the WORLD. 



When people are in the DARKNESS of their sins, they have NO KNOWLEDGE of GOD, and there is NO RELATIONSHIP with Him, because they have NOT experienced His SALVATION.  When a person comes to Jesus Christ for the SALVATION of their soul, they begin to KNOW GOD, and to EXPERIENCE His SALVATION, which was purchased by the SHED BLOOD of JESUS, His SON, so that MANKIND might be delivered out of the DARKNESS of their sins and into the LIGHT, which is JESUS CHRIST.   John 1:5 says: “The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has NOT overcome it.”  Does GOD’S LIGHT shine in your HEART, or are you still LIVING in the DARKNESS?



Since the darkness of sin CANNOT OVERCOME God’s Light, we have ASSURANCE of our SALVATION, and we can KNOW GOD, and have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him because of the Lord Jesus’ Proclamation:  “I have come into the world as a LIGHT, so that NO ONE who BELIEVES in ME should stay in the darkness.” (John 1:4) JESUS CHRIST is your ONLY HOPE, to be able to come out of the darkness of your sinful lifestyle, and to be able to ESCAPE an ETERNAL DESTINY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS.  Is it your HOPE, to spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS?



If that is your HOPE, then you MUST let GOD’S LIGHT SHINE out of the DARKNESS of your sinful life by:  TURNING AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, COME OUT of the DARKNESS, and INTO GOD’S LIGHT by TURNING TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ASK His for His FORGIVENESS.  And BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  Then you MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION and start LIVING in GOD’S LIGHT and let it SHINE out of the DARKNESS for ALL to SEE what God has done for YOU.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
