Tag: you are the light of the world

Bible verse of The Day – 8-16-14

Matthew 5:14-16 (NKJV) 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

In this dark world that we live in, we may be the only light that some people ever see.

We may be the only hint of God that some people ever experience in their entire lifetime.

We may be the only example of Christ that some people ever encounter.

The things we do and the words we speak can have a lasting affect on the people around us, for good or for evil.

As followers of Christ, His ambassadors, we need to make sure that the lasting impression that we leave is one of light and love, not of darkness, hatred and judgment.

So let’s be careful with our words and our actions. We never know what people are going through and if we treat them in a Christlike way, it may just be what is needed to give them a gentle nudge into the arms of our Savior.

You are the light of the world. Shine brightly.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-17-14

Matthew 5:14-16 (NKJV) 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

We are the light of the world!

Jesus told us that we are the light of the world. He also said that we are to let our light shine before men so that our Father in heaven may be glorified.

This gives us a huge responsibility. It means that we can’t just sit back and hold God’s light within us, hoarding it four ourselves. Instead, we need to let that light shine to those we come into contact with, each and every day.

We work with people, go to school with people, interact with people outside of our home everywhere we go. It is these very people who need God’s hope and love. And it is through us that they will see Him, if we let them.

But don’t take this wrong. This does not mean that we need to preach to everyone we see. This means that we are to love them. We need to treat them kindly, with respect, with compassion, mercy and without judging them.

It is this kind of love and this kind of interaction that will let God’s light shine through us onto them and into their lives.

You may ask “how will they know it’s God’s love if we don’t share the gospel with them or if we don’t tell them that it’s God’s love?”. They will know because it is different than what they are accustomed to.

Love people. Smile and say hello. Be pleasant. After all, isn’t this what we would like others to do for us? And isn’t this what God has told us to do?

Let your light shine!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-4-14

Matthew 5:14 (NKJV) “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden“.

Did you know that you are the light of the world?

Sometimes it can be hard to see ourselves as being light in this dark world we live in. We have so many faults. We make so many mistakes. And we are so far from being perfect.

But guess what! If you are a follower of Christ, a child of God, then you have God living inside of you. That is what makes us the light of the world!

You see, it’s not by anything we have done that we are light. Short of making a decision to place our faith in the Creator and the Savior, we can do nothing good and bring no light anywhere.

But with Him in us, we are light and we bring light wherever we go!

So remember this. When you encounter darkness, be light. When you’re in a tough situation, be light. When you feel like nothing’s going right, be light!

Anywhere we go and in everything we do, we bring light into every single situation and circumstance that we encounter, spreading it to those around us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-17-14

(Matthew 5:14 NKJV)  “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Wherever we are today, let’s let God’s light shine through us!

How can we teach others to lean on God and trust in Him? We do this by being an example and practicing it in our own lives.

God’s word is phenomenal, and as we walk it out, others will see how powerful, strong and miraculous He is as they watch, listen, and feel the presence of God moving in us.

God’s Word comes alive in us when we truly believe in Him, take His word to heart and let it teach us. As we do this, those that we are around will see it.

Step out today, be bold and shine bright!!
