Only God can give true spiritual growth. He is the Light that we need more than anything else. In Him, the Light, does our impurities burn away into something that can be productive for His use.
Light also chases away the darkness. Wherever light is, darkness must leave. We are His agents of grace, torch-bearers, called to take the light into the darkest of places. But we, ourselves, must have been first purified by Him.
There is no darkness in Him—nor should there be in His children.
Psalm 90:8 8 Thou hast placed our iniquities before Thee, Our secret sins in the light of Thy presence.
We must realize and confess our sins before Him, there is nothing that is not in His sight. Praise God! His light leads us to the path of forgiveness found in Christ Jesus.
This is what we have heard from the beginning and must continue to proclaim today—that God is Light!! Pure and holy light that can illumine any heart, guide any foot, and purify the foulest heart!! A light so pure that there is no darkness in Him at all!!
No darkness at all…
Kind shoots a whole in those who say God doesn’t really know what is going to happen next. If He didn’t then He lied and would have deceived those who throughout history (His-story) who called upon His name, and us.
He is in control, He knows who will be saved, He knows who will be lost. That is not for us to figure out. It is for us to share the light and drive out the darkness with the light of His Gospel.
A light pushes the darkness away. Drives it out. Are you living a life that is driving out darkness. You have to be where darkness is to do so.
My prayer is that the church will live on the edge of God’s light that we may share the Gospel with those who try to remain in the dark. May we have the audacity to go into their safest places and give them the Balm of Gilead that alone can meet their need—atonement for their sin, and new life by grace thru faith in Christ alone.

great post Aaron, another part of light is without it we have no color only black.
another important feature of light refraction is that the wavelength of light has an impact on the amount of refraction that occurs within a medium. In fact, the amount of refraction that takes place is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the incident light. Thus, shorter wavelength visible light is refracted at a greater angle than longer wavelength light. Consequently, when white light, which is composed of all the colors in the visible spectrum, is passed through a glass prism, it is dispersed into its component colors in a manner that is dependent upon the individual wavelengths. Low frequency visible light (600 nanometers and greater) is refracted at a smaller angle than higher frequency light, which results in a rainbow-like effect.
So without light of God this world is in such severe darkness!!!
Great post... You go Bro!!!
