Light of the Gospel

Light is such a powerful factor with God and is mentioned often:
"In him (Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1:4,5)
"The true light (Jesus) that gives light to everyone was coming into the world." John 1:9 (note that word “everyone”)
Satan knows the importance of light: "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Cor 4:4
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Pet 2:9
“...the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
"You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.” 1 Thes 5:5
And Peter Adds a beautiful Description of light in our lives: “...pay attention to the prophetic message (of Christ), as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.”
Here’s how we can apply this emphasis: ever walking in the light, moving forward in the light of Scripture:
"But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.” To live without Christ is to live in darkness, where people can’t see the pitfalls Satan has for us. So they keep making the same mistakes over and over.
In contrast "The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” Proverbs 4:18,19.
As we come to Christ, it is the first light of morning, then as we walk with Him, the Son rises and gives us more and more light. Let’s go on with Him, ever more into the LIGHT!
