Jesus commands Christians to spread His light (Matthew 5:14-16).
Let's look at passages using the light analogy to find our answer:
1. We don't hide our light. We want our faith to shine wherever we are, not only at church (Matthew 5:14-15).
2. We remember that when we shine the light of Christ, we bring glory to God, not to ourselves (Matthew 5:16).
3. When discouraged, we remind ourselves that because God called us out of darkness, we've become His chosen people, a royal priesthood, and His special possession (1 Peter 2:9)
4. We remember that only as we walk in the light can we have true fellowship with other light bearers and experience God's purifying work in our hearts (1 John 1:7).
3. When discouraged, we remind ourselves that because God called us out of darkness, we've become His chosen people, a royal priesthood, and His special possession (1 Peter 2:9)
4. We remember that only as we walk in the light can we have true fellowship with other light bearers and experience God's purifying work in our hearts (1 John 1:7).
5. Because we are no longer in darkness, we seek to bear "the fruit of the light" (Ephesians 5:8-10).
6. We seek to expose evil and harmful deeds of darkness in our world (Ephesians 5:11-14).
7. We remember that God is complete and perfect light without a dot of darkness, and we know that those who walk in darkness don't know Him (1 John 1:5-6).
Perhaps our light can draw them to Christ—another reason to shine!
