From the bible ….step into the light brother
“And
God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw
the light, that it
was good: and God divided the light
from the darkness.”
Genesis 1:3-4 KJV
Mankind fell into sin and death darkness and had no light
“
Behold,
the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. …The way of peace they know not; and
there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
Therefore is
judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
We
grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we
stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in
desolate places as dead men.
we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. For
our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
And
judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for
truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey:
and
the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.”
Isaiah 59:1-2, 8-12, 14-16 KJV
“
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them hath the light shined. For
unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and
his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom,
to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 KJV
“
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and
I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. ….Seek ye the LORD while he may be found,
call ye upon him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, (repentance ) and he
will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”
Isaiah 55:3, 6-7 KJV
repentance and also forgivness of sins just because they come to him and hear his words and their souls shall live.
“
Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation:
for a law shall proceed from me, and
I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and
on mine arm shall they trust.”
Isaiah 51:4-5
“
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles…… he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged,
till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.”
Isaiah 42:1, 3-4 KJV
“In the beginning was
the Word, and
the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him;
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And
the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.”
John 1:1-5 KJV
“Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
“For the Father judgeth no man, but
hath committed all judgment unto the Son” Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:22, 24 KJV
“Heaven and earth
shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”
Mark 13:31 KJV
“
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him:
the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but
the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that
his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as
the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50 KJV
“being
born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. …But
the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
1 Peter 1:23, 25 KJV
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
“
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And
a light unto my path.”
Psalm 119:105 KJV
“And this is the condemnation, that
light is come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For
every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But
he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
John 3:19-21 KJV
Do you see why people try to stay away from Jesus teachings ? Because it calls us to stop sinning and feeling alright about calls us to do what’s right in Gods eyes . If we’re liking our sinful lives , we don’t want to be exposed by the light of what he actually preached and taught in the gospel.
look what it does to our self righteousness when we listen to Jesus preaching and teaching the people who listened to him
It’s a moral system of how to behave in real life. It’s Jesus the son of God teaching believers about his eternal kingdom.
It’s meant to reshape how we think about God , ourselves and what happens when we pass away , meant to change how we perceive live and act in this world.
it’s about being one of Jesus disciples all of us are imperfect ones but that’s the reason he died for us . listening to the things the lord said will save us and accepting also the things we must repent of he’s trying to give us the knowledge of salvation and life , we can’t hear him if we don’t step into the light
“
If we say that we have fellowship with him,
and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
1 John 1:6-10 KJV
