From Darkness to Light
(NASB) Genesis 1:4 “God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.”
From what darkness does God need to separate you from so you can have more of Him? For God is Light. [(NASB) 1 John 1:5 “This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.”]
There are all kinds of things which can block or barricade you and me from God.
The following is a springboard for you to use to assess yourself:
Self-will; selfishness; wanting to do things your way; to ignore the “nudges” to read God’s word; to put other things first and not spend time with Him in prayer.
God chose to make a separation of the light (which is He, Himself) from the darkness in which I once lived. He gave me the desperate desire to seek His forgiveness for my sins.
(NASB) 2 Corinthians 4:6 “For God, who said, ‘Light shall shine out of darkness,’ is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”
He has done this for me, have you asked Him to do this for you?
God, only God, can separate the darkness in anyone and bring them into the kingdom of His Son.
(NASB) Colossians 1:13-14 “For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
From darkness to light, the Light of God Himself…
All praise and honor and glory belong to Him. For He has the power to separate the darkness (in your life) and give you “…the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”
He will transfer you into the kingdom of His beloved Son when you believe in, and on, the Lord Jesus Christ.
