Like a candle… shining in the night

'Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.' (Genesis 1:3)

'Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.' (Psalm 112:4)

'Wicked people rebel against the light. They refuse to acknowledge its ways or stay in its paths.' (Job 24:13)

'What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.' (Isaiah 5:20)

'Don’t participate in the things these people do. For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.' (Ephesians 5:7-9)

'Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD.' (Psalm 89:15)

'But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation.' (1 Thessalonians 5:8) New Living Translation

'We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.  For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.' Colossians 1:11-14 (NLT)

So live as people of the Light. You were rescued from the kingdom of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of God. The Way, Light and Truth purchased your freedom and forgave your sins. So live as people of the LIGHT.
