God Is Light

1 John 1:5

This then is the message we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all. 

    God Is Light. Jesus Is Light. There are not two Lights, but one Light. For God is Father, God is Son, and God is Spirit. One Light. One magnificent Light. 

    Isaiah 42:6

“I, The LORD, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a Light to the Gentiles."

    Isaiah 60:19, 20

No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for The LORD will be your Everlasting Light, and your God will be your splendor. Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not wane; for The LORD will be your Everlasting Light, and the days of your sorrow will cease.

    John 8:12

Then spoke Jesus to them, "I Am The Light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have The Light of Life."

    John 9:5

"As long as I am in the world, I Am The Light of the world."

    John 12:46

"I Am come a Light into the world, that whosoever believes on Me should not abide in darkness."

    John 13:35

Then Jesus said to them, "Yet a little while is The Light with you. Walk while you have The Light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes."

    Revelation 21:23

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it: for the glory of God did Light it, and The Lamb is The Light thereof.

    Revelation 22:5

And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for The Lord God gives them Light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 

    Everlasting Light is that which emanates from The Everlasting God, Who created all things and has caused light to radiate from Himself into a world that would otherwise be completely dark. But even more so, into this world occupied by spiritual darkness and spiritual blindness, God has sent His Everlasting Light in The Person of His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. 

    Sent He Him here to open the eyes of the blind that we may see The Light of God's Love for ourselves. We each must make an independent, individual choice to believe that Jesus Christ is Lord, and give this Light our hearts and minds, choosing to walk in His Light instead of in darkness and sin. 

    When we have The Light of God's Love shining within us, we glow with Love and God's Light shines through us. We speak of the grace which God has prepared for each one who believes, that more people would see The Light and believe It for themselves. 

    When we have The Light of God's Love filling us with Himself, He overflows into our words and our actions. We are compelled by The Love of God to go into the streets and share the gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ and none other. We share the whys and wherefores, the how and the hope, of grace and redemption. We speak Love. We speak Light. We speak Grace, Hope, Mercy, Peace and Joy. 

    Even when we warn of the consequences of refusing God's Light, of denial of God's Love in the face of Jesus Christ, we are speaking in Love. For The Love of God both lights up a dark heart and reveals a dark heart. Light shines in the darkness and darkness cannot overcome it. [John 1:5]. Where The Light penetrates in the heart and in the mind, darkness must flee, taking its companions with it. 

    With The Love of God's Light shining brightly within us, we urge you, we beg you, Come to Jesus. Come and drink of His Living Water and live forever with Him. Come and feed on His Bread of Life and live forever with Him. Come to Jesus. Before it's too late. 

    

The Riches of His Glory

 

Ephesians 3:16

God grant you, 

according to the riches of His glory,

to be strengthened with might

by His Spirit

in your inner being.

THE RICHES OF HIS GLORY

Colossians 1:27

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

 

Romans 9:23, 24 In order to make known the riches of His glory for vessels of mercy, which He has prepared beforehand for glory—including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?

Ephesians 1:18-21

I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. 

These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

2 Corinthians 4:6

For God, Who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His Light shine in our hearts to give us the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 

John 1:1-3, 14

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; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was Life; and the Life was the Light of men. ... And The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of The Only Begotten of The Father,) full of grace and truth. 

    In Christ Alone our hope is found [2 Corinthians 5:19]. There is No Other Name given under heaven by which we must be saved [Acts 4:12]. (amazing choir) 

Christ Our Hope In Life or Death is the riches of God's glory. This is our treasure which we take with us when we leave these bodies behind. It is not the only treasure we can lay up in heaven, though.

    We can bring other vessels of mercy to heaven with us, or send them on ahead of us. We pray for their salvation. We pray for their walk with The Spirit. We pray for their journey in Jesus Christ, which will prepare them for an eternity in the heavenly realm. 

    We pray that our families, our friends, our acquaintances, the strangers among us and our enemies (they who come against in for the name of Christ on us) would know Romans 8:38, 39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
