One of my favorite verses in the Bible is John 8:12, “Jesus, spoke to the people once more, and said, ‘I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.’”

A life in Christ gives us clarity of sight, because when we walk with Christ, we are walking in the light.

This truth becomes powerful and transformational when we are fully convinced that we GET to walk in the light (that leads to life) so we won’t HAVE to walk in darkness (that leads to death).

Why stumble our way through, when we can stand firm on God’s truth?

The free gift of salvation, given to us by God through His Son, Jesus Christ, is just that – it is a gift! It was freely given, and we can fully receive it, and boldly walk in it.

We WON’T HAVE to walk in darkness, because we literally HAVE the light that leads to life living inside us! We GET to walk in the LIGHT! We GET to turn to the LIGHT and allow Him to shed light on our sin, so we can repent and be born again, saying no to sin (death and darkness) and yes to Him (life and light)!

“This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice 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 cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭10‬, ‭ESV‬‬)
