Shine God's light

People often say Shine God's light or Be a light in this dark world and all of us used to sing in our Sunday school "this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine" 🎵. what do they mean and what is this light ? Lets see what The Bible says .... Jesus calls Himself "the light of the world." John calls Him "the life that is the light of men," "the light that shines in the darkness" (John 1:4-5). The light in us is His light, the indwelling Christ, the Holy Spirit within us. Paul speaks of "the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:4). We have that light shining through our lives if our actions reflect the nature of Christ....His love, compassion, and forgiveness. His light shines through our attitudes, words, and deeds. When people see that our lives have been changed so that we have Jesus' values and see the power of God at work in us, they will agree that we do have a great Savior. When they see redeemed people, they are more inclined to believe that we have a Redeemer. The Christ-like life is the platform on which individual testimony becomes convincing. Let's be practical, if you hand out a bible to non-believers, many of them won't care to read it. Instead They will look at you, your life and how you are living . So you are their Bible , their light... . Matthews 5:16 says: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.. This is the work God has given us .. To bring as many souls to him . He has kept us on earth to reflect Gods light. God says so in Isaiah 42:6-7: "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 (unbelievers), To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house".💠



The psalmist says in Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. It says the word of God is the light now how can we shine ? To shine Gods light you must know the Word of God. Not only know but should most importantly follow and live it. Don't shine so others can see you shine but shine so others can see God through you (C.S. Lewis). People are attracted to the light that lives in us So Let your light shine bright . Shine God's light! God bless you! ✝
