2 Corinthians 7:1 NLT
[1] Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.
1 John 1:5-10 NLT
[5] This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. [6] So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. [7] But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. [8] If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. [9] But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. [10] If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.
Beloved, we as believers must become the Light that Jesus has been and is to us. We must be honest about the sin in our lives and be determined to eradicated from our lives so we can become and continue to be the Light that he has called us to be.
Jesus knows that as long as we are in this flesh, We have the ability and proclivity to sin. However, we have the power and the ability to also repent of our sins and turn away from that wickedness and move forward with our lives on a daily basis. He tells us in his word that we must die to this flesh daily. That we must crucify our fleshly desires and give in to the Holy Spirit's leading of our life through the word of God.
So let's not choose to be a liar, but rather choose to be truthful concerning the way we live our lives. Choose today to live out God's word in holiness and righteousness; Be the Light.
Become Light
