Live As Children Of Light

 

 

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them.

 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord.

Ephesians 5:1-10

Sometimes when we show kindness we only do it because we know we should do that, as Christians. God knows our heart. The kindness should come from within, not be forced. We are supposed to reflect the light of Jesus in our lives, no matter what we are up against.

Our speech and behavior are to be a positive witness. Are you facing a conflict? Let Jesus’ light shine through.

People are attracted to Christ when you shine His light from your life.
