PHILIPPIANS 2:15
"Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like BRIGHT LIGHTS in a world full of crooked and perverse people."
If you find yourself in the dark there is nothing more comforting than a bright light that shines to show the way. On the dark seas a beacon of light brings hope and comfort that safe shores are ahead. There is something beautiful and consoling to the heart and mind when we look up into the sky and sea the stars shining and twinkling and giving us light and positioning. These are examples of what children of God are to like to this crooked and perverse world. By definition children of God live clean and innocent lives. They are examples to others in the world of how they should live and be. ARE YOU A BRIGHT LIGHT?
If you can show that your life is blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, then you are examples of children of God. If you are without blemish, faultless and unbreakable in the midst of this wicked and perverse world you are a shining light and hope. This is a wicked, perverted and crooked generation of people. They are for the most part perverted and perverse. They prefer the dark rather than the light and there is no end to their depravity. What a contrast in a dark atmosphere is the presence of even one light. Remember we are to be the light, just as Jesus Christ is the Light.
The truth is that without true believer's and follower's of Jesus Christ in this world it would be plunged into total darkness. Our beams of light combine to hold up the oppression of the devil and prevent him from succeeding in bringing total darkness to humanity. We receive our power and light from God and act as His instruments in bringing light to the world. The darkness hates the light and non believer's hate believer's because they show them for what they are and what they desire. Be prepared and shine. ARE YOU A BRIGHT LIGHT?
