We Are Now Light


And this is the message [the message of promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [no, not in any way]. 1 John 1:5

At that time [when that day comes] you will know [for yourselves] that I am in My Father, and you [are] in Me, and I [am] in you. John 14:20

In Jesus there is no darkness at all, and as we have been studying, we are now in Jesus! The great Truth of our salvation is that we just aren’t saved from hell because we believe, we actually are saved from Hell because we become one with God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Jesus is now in us and we are now in Him and there is no darkness at all in Jesus! 

There are so many of us who really don’t believe this Truth. There is far too much condemnation amongst Christians, most of it is self-condemnation, but it still is condemnation. I see so many of us putting off the blessings of our salvation, believing that we can only come to this light when we arrive in Heaven. But that is just not the Truth of who we are in Christ and hopefully all of these studies have made that Truth, the Truth that sets us free, known. When the power of our salvation: righteousness, sanctification, glory, and holiness is directed at God, we are light, and when it is self directed, darkness, and then failure. We are light because of Jesus, His power and glory have driven the darkness from us. There is no ability for us to boast in this Light, because Christ has done it all for us, and praise God He has done it all for us! And now through Jesus we may have full joy and peace in living in the Light as His Blood eternally cleanses us from all unrighteousness!

Jesus is great and He is in us and we are one with Him.

Does a fountain send forth [simultaneously] from the same opening fresh water and bitter? James 3:11

In the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit our Father will use us to share this freeing Truth with the world. Through His power our Father will absolutely use us to bless those who so desperately need it.
