"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 and shows you the way. If you are on the dark seas and you see a beacon of light on a far shore, it gives you direction and comfort, knowing that you can find your way safely home. We find beauty and majesty when we look up in the dark sky and see the twinkling and shining stars. They give us a method of determining our position here on earth. The above are examples of what children of God, who live clean and innocent lives, bring to a world full of crooked and perverse people, in this dark and wicked world. Christians bring a bright light to the world around them. How about you, how bright is your light shining?
If you can live a life blameless, guileless, clean and innocent, you will be an example of the children of God. If you come forward without blemish or fault as a result of the mercy of God, then you can be a BRIGHT LIGHT, for the Lord. If you do not give in to this wicked and perverse world and remember to confess your sins to the Lord, you can be the beacon of hope that everyone is looking for. For the most part this generation is wicked and perverse and their path is crooked and not toward the Lord. They seem to prefer the darkness rather than the light. In some cases there is no end to their depravity. What a contrast between the darkness of their lives and the brightness of the light shining forth from believer's in Jesus Christ the Lord God. Without the Lord there is no light!
In this world the truth is that without true believer's and followers of Jesus Christ there would be extreme darkness. We are the beams of light that hold of the oppression of darkness and evil. We receive our light from the the Lord and and act as His instruments in bringing light to the world. The darkness hates the light, just as non believer's hate and run from the light given off by believer's. The reason is that the light shows them for what they are, crooked and perverse. One of the most important functions of a true believer in Jesus Christ is to shine His light as well as our own throughout the world. We do it by how we live and the example we give. May we all be BRIGHT LIGHTS, to the world!
