Walking in the Light

I love John 3:16–20, which tells us that “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” But the passage goes on to say that those who believe in Him are not judged, while those who do not believe are already condemned because they love darkness rather than light. When we come to the Light, our lives are revealed for what they are—open before God—so that His truth may work within us.

Each day, we must make a choice to walk in the light of Jesus Christ, led by the Holy Spirit.

I’m reminded of David’s prayer in Psalm 139: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” The Bible tells us that David was a man after God’s own heart. What a powerful reminder to continually invite God to examine us and guide us in His ways.

There are so many voices in the world today pulling us in different directions—away from the Word of God and from Jesus Christ. But Scripture says, “If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

Today, ask God to search your heart and shine the light of His Word upon your life by the Holy Spirit. When His light exposes what’s hidden, it’s not to condemn us—but to call us to repentance and draw us back to the Father of light and life.

He loves us deeply and desires a real relationship with us. It’s a true privilege to walk upright and blameless in this life—not because of anything we’ve done, but because of what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for us.

Until next time, love you, family.
