Ephesians 5:8
Ephesians 5:8
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.
As believers, we were once in darkness, but now we are called to walk as children of light. This verse speaks to the transformation that occurs when we come to know the Lord. In the past, our lives may have been filled with confusion, sin, and separation from God, but through Christ, we are made new, walking in His light. Walking in the light means living in a way that reflects God’s truth and righteousness. It requires turning away from darkness and sin and living according to God's will. As children of light, we are called to shine brightly in a dark world, sharing the hope and transformation we’ve experienced in Christ. This light is not our own; it is God’s presence and His guidance that illuminates our path. In our everyday actions, we are to reflect His love, truth, and faith, pointing others to the hope found in Him.
Matthew 4:16
The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
1 John 1:5
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Psalms 18:28
For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
John 12:46
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
