The Fundamental Principle Of Christianity Is To Be What God Is, And He Is Light
David opens Psalm 27 with the simple declaration, “The Lord is my light.” The Bible also calls Jesus the “day star”, the “bright and morning star” and the “true Light.” Jesus said of himself, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” John 8:12.
It is the destiny of the church to be the light in a dark world. Light reveals…light exposes…light guides…light conquers darkness. It’s time for the church to quit wailing about the darkness in the world and turn on the light of Jesus Christ. It’s time for Satan to be seen shuffling through the back alleys of hell in a true Maalox Moment, dialing 911 and lamenting, “Where will the church strike next?”
A definition of the occult is “that which is hidden and secretive.” Anything not open and above board is not of God. You don’t have to be in the occult to walk in darkness—the first step away from the light is a step toward darkness. The first step away from Jesus Christ is a step toward the prince of darkness.
When you reject the truth, you embrace a lie. You are either saved or lost…sheep or goats…wheat or tares…light or darkness. So “walk as children of light …and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness” Ephesians 5:8, 11. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” Matthew 5:16.
