God's Promises Sunday

 

                   Light Vs Darkness

John 1:5, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Darkness cannot overcome light. The world we live in is a good example of that statement.

Our creator God Almighty, gave the universe especially our world, to the care of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the light. A small percentage of people in this world follow the light reflected by the Lord Jesus Christ. They chose to follow Him and His teachings.

The larger percentage of people are in darkness, because they chose to follow the Prince of Darkness, satan.

John 8:12, Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.

The people of God, pray for those who follow satan. Their eyes are wide open, and their hearts are full of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We know, by deceiving Adam and Eve, satan introduced mankind to sin and evil. satan is still the master deceiver. He makes sin of all kinds, seem like the answer to happiness.

John 9:5, As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Christians accept accountability for their actions, while unbelievers feel no accountability for their actions. As a matter of fact, it seems they search for even greater evil.

So here we are, living in a world where evil gets worse because more people are drawn to it. They hate the Lord Jesus and those who follow him. So why does almighty God allow all of this? The answer is Free Will. God wants to replace those who lost Heaven when they rebelled, so He gives each of us the opportunity to be saved.

Acts 26:18, To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the powers of satan to God; that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance serving among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

You have heard about the parable about the chaff and the wheat. Life is like that. Everyone does not go to Heaven, and the bad are chosen and cast out. The Lord God Almighty lets us decide by our actions where we end up for eternity.

Life is like a mist. It is impossible to come up with an example of how long eternity is compared to a lifetime. Those who endure through life and choose the Lord Jesus Christ will be rewarded.

Ephesians 6:12, For we do not wrestle against flesh and Blood, but against principalities, against Powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the Heavenly places.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, and by your stripes I was healed. Your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank You, Amen. 

Praise The Lord!
