36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light. These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them. John 12:36 NKJV
BELIEVING IN JESUS
Believing in Jesus is key to becoming sons of light. It is also the key to salvation, sanctification, a life of purpose, and a life of full and true joy. Following Jesus means living and obeying the light He teaches. It means believing in the Light of the Son of God.
GROW MORE INTO HIS LIKENESS
As we obey and follow we grow more and more daily into His Likeness.
Some young men will do anything they can to become more like the sports figure they most look up to as a hero. How much more so to follow and adore and look up to Jesus the perfect Savior.
Is there another anywhere in history who so courageously died for so many?
Is there another Who lived a perfect life?
Can you point out another who pleased God more or obeyed God more perfectly than Jesus?
That answer has to be a resounding, “No!”
FOLLOW JESUS
There is only Jesus Who was such a perfect and selfless individual. There is no one finer to copy and obey and follow.
Now for the amazing part. When we have taken Christ as our Savior and are following Him and not the things of the world, we set our minds on things above.
When we ask God to forgive us our sins through Christ and ask for the infilling of His Holy Spirit into our lives, we grow more and more into all we were created to be.
BECOMING MORE LIKE JESUS
With the help, guidance, and comfort of the Holy Spirit, we are becoming more like Jesus. Turning away from our sins is what repentance really means. Repenting from our sins means a change. Every moment should find your actions reflecting your commitment.
Such living means that we are now becoming more and more like Jesus. We are becoming sons of light as He is the Light.
In light there is no darkness. There will not be things in us that are of the dark. Nothing will be embraced that is evil or chosen that will be displeasing to God.
BECOMING SONS OF LIGHT
In Christ, we are lights and we shine those lights into a dark world. What a glorious way to live. Become a son of light.
