The Christian Transformation – out of darkness into His Marvelous Light
The Christian experience is a remarkable life changing journey. It begins when we are truly able to hear the Words of Jesus Christ, and they become implanted in our minds for the first time.
When the Spirit of Truth, which proceeds from Jesus Christ, dwells in us; we can then begin to understand the Gospel message, and the peace of God which passes all understanding. This begins the process of coming out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Many claim to have faith, but a worldly faith can easily be shattered, if it is based upon illusions and deceit.
A Christian believer walking in the truth, as a result of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, is kept by the power of Christ through an enduring faith.
With the Holy Spirit we can have a full assurance of the hope of our Salvation, and an understanding of the truth of the Gospel. It is only through Jesus Christ who is the Living Word, that we can we receive His precious gifts, such as Faith, Hope, Love and Joy (Gal 5:22).
Through these gifts, we can be certain of our power, purpose, and place with our Savior and Lord (2 Cor 4:13; Heb 10:22; 1 John 5:4).
Hearing the Word of God and realizing that it is the living testimony of Jesus Christ unto our Salvation, starts a transformation process out of darkness into his marvelous light.
As we joyfully and diligently labor in the scriptures they enter our mind and heart. Soon our study and prayer time becomes a labor of love, as great joy and wonder overwhelm our senses.
As we start to trust and believe the truth in the Word, our faith gets stronger and submitting to our Redeemer becomes easier. When we allow Him to become the Lord and focus of our lives, a dynamic and lasting relationship that cannot easily be severed blossoms.
John 1:1-4 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men
Christ is the light, and all who are faithful to the calling see and accept that light. With His illumination we can share the truth and expose the darkness in this present evil world.
John 1:10-12 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
He came unto his generation or those around him and they received him not. These were not his by possession, nor did they fall away; they never knew him or his father. They deceived themselves and others with a false religion based on the traditions of men. These who were self-righteous never came out of darkness into his marvelous light.
John 3:19-21 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Isaiah 62:11-12 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken
