Living in Light

Topic: Living in Light
Text: Psalm 56:13, John 8:12, Psalm 36:9, Ephesians 5:8
The spiritual understanding of this topic makes us to identify with two words “living” and “light”.
Living can be defined as the experience, condition or state of being alive; while light could be defined as the source of illumination or the condition of spiritual awareness.
So I will say that living in the light means being alive of one’s spiritual awareness in Jesus Christ.
The entrance of the word of God giveth light and understanding to the simple, if you want to be living in light then the Word of God must be actively present and manifesting in you. Psalm 119:130
Introduction
God the creator of the Heaven and the earth did not create man to live in darkness. At the beginning the earth was without form and void. Genesis 1:1-5. It is the will of God for you to be living in light that is why he created two main light for the earth in the book of genesis 1:16,the sun which is the greater light to rule in the day and the lesser night the moon to rule in the night. Psalm 74:16.
The only way a Christian can be living in the light is after a new life in Christ Jesus.
The coming and birth of Jesus brought about light into this world as seen in Matthew 4:14-16 concerning the land of Zebulon and the Land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the gentiles. It says the people sat in darkness saw a great light and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up, the appearance of Jesus in Galilee brought light into this terrain.
It was the presence of Jesus in Galilee that brought Light to the people there because they were living and sitting in darkness according to the word of prophecy.
WHY SHOULD WE LIVE IN LIGHT
We must live in the light because we are the light of the world; Matthew 5:14-16. Our Lord and saviour Jesus called us the light of the world. We must let our light shine before the people around us so they can see our good works and glorify God who is in heaven. It is important we live and walk in the light as children of God. Acts 13:47, Ephesians 5:8 Psalm 56:13, Proverbs 4:18, Isaiah 2:5 Ephesians 5:8.
We must bear witness to the light (this light is Jesus Christ) , in john 1:6-9 we read a declaration to John the Baptist who came to bear witness to the light so that all men could believe. So we believers in Christ Jesus who are living in light must bear witness to the true light (Jesus Christ) as commanded in Acts 1:8.
We must be living in light because God Almighty is light, 1 John 1:5-7 C.F Psalm 36:9. God is light and in him you cannot find any form of darkness; therefore we must live in light because of our God in Heaven. Anyone who lives in darkness cannot see God neither will he be allowed into heaven the abode of God.

Conclusion
Living in light is mandatory for a believer who has a new life in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ called himself the light of the world in John 8:12, 9:5; if you want to shine in this world you need the light of Christ to shine because he is the light of the world.
It is impossible for a sinner to be living in the light because the sinner is in darkness until the day of his repentance, this light cannot be gotten by education, skill, money or fame; john 3:19,12:46.
The path of the just is like a shining light that shines more brightly unto the perfect day (proverbs 4:18), therefore I admonish you in the name of Jesus Christ, continue living in light.
Jesus is Lord and Saviour
