Good Morning Friends,
“This is the message we have heard from him
and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we
claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not
live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from
all sin.” (1 John 1:5-7)
In the Bible, light is often used to refer to
what which is righteous and pure. Darkness is often used to refer to that which
is evil and unrighteous.
We can take great confidence in the knowledge
that there is absolutely nothing evil and unrighteous in God. There are many
things about God and about what He has done and is doing that we don’t
understand. But we can take great confidence that there is a righteous and pure
explanation to it all. Most of the explanations for the things we don’t
understand will wait for eternity, but then we will see how everything that God
was good and accomplished His purposes.
The life God calls us to is to be
characterized by the same light that characterizes Him. God never asks us to do
anything that is impure and unrighteous. His will is always characterized by righteousness
and purity. It is the devil who tries to trick us into thinking that sometimes
we need to do something less than pure and righteous in order to accomplish
something good. But that is never God’s direction.
His, by Grace,
Steve
