Walk In The Light!

‘for you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.  Walk as children of light.’ (Eph 5:8)

Once we were in darkness but NOW you are light in the Lord.  We are the children of Light.  So, how can you walk in the Light?

The Bible says, in 1 John 1:6, ‘if we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the Truth.’  Walking in the Light is simply walking in His Truth.  The Bible says in John 1:9, ‘that was the True Light which gives light to every man coming into the World.’ The Word of God is the True Light! As the children of Light, we have fellowship with Him when we practice the Truth. We are born of God. We are born of the incorruptible seed – The Word of God.

For example, 2 Cor 5:17 says, ‘therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he IS a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away, behold, all things have BECOME NEW.’  This is the description of a child of God, bornagain believer.  You are walking in the Light, when you believe what God has said about you in His Word and How He sees you through His Word and started to walk in the light of this Truth. 

Another example is, The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5: 21, ‘for He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.’  We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.  This is who you are! This is how God sees you.  You believe what He said about you in His Word and started to walk in the Light of this Truth!  As children of God we need to know who we are in Christ, what we have in Christ and what we can do in Christ.

Ignorance of His Word can keep you bound for life! It is the revelation knowledge of His Word brings that liberty.  God said, My people perish lack of the knowledge.  If we walk in the Light then we have fellowship with Him. Amen.
