Light Needed For Life

Jn. 1:4

When our fore parents sinned in the Garden, man lost the life of God and all that was left was a caricature of the former glorious creation. The first thing that was addressed at recreation was to bring back the life which redeemed and also gave us light. The Light (Jesus) is the source of life for everyone who becomes translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light, from death to life. By being translated, we are richly blessed. His life gives us light and made us miniature lights, no longer slaves to Satan, sin and the world system. By becoming members of this new order, though once doomed for eternal damnation, now marked and enlisted for eternal life.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: By being translated, we are richly blessed, His life gives us light and made us lights.

PRAYER POINT: God, please help me to live up to Your expectation as light in a dark world.
