From Darkness into Light

Introduction: According to the Word of God, we were all in darkness. Until, Jesus brought us into His light. Remember. Light dispels darkness. The light emanates from God – for God is light (1John 1:5).

1. Darkness Hides! (Eph 5:8) – “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.”

Instead of hiding in the dark, as believers we are to come out into the light. Are you attempting to hide in the darkness?

2. Light Reveals! (Eph 5:13) – “But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.”

The word “reproved” is ἐλέγχω, which is pronounced – el-eng’-kho. It means to expose, or convict. In this case, it describes the process of bringing to light. The Holy Spirit turns on the light. Light reveals truth. Light uncovers lies. Jesus calls us to come to the light.

Conclusion: Needless to say, this is another reminder that while we were once in darkness influenced by the prince of darkness, now we have passed from darkness to light. Jesus is the light of the world. Therefore, our new lifestyle is to walk in the light because He is in the light. Then, let it shine for others to see.
