“Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s only Son. This is the condemnation: light came into the world, and people loved darkness more than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his deeds may not be exposed. But whoever practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be clear that his deeds are done in God.” (John 3:18-21)
That is why:
“… everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for light makes everything manifest. Therefore it says: Wake up, you who sleep, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you. Take care, then, how you walk, not as fools but as wise people, making good use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” (Ephesians 5:13-17)
“So that we may no longer be wavering children, carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people who cunningly employ deceitful schemes, but, following the truth in love, may grow in every way into the one who is the head, that is, Christ.” (Ephesians 4:14-15)
So…:
“Whoever, then, hears these words of mine and does them, I will compare to a prudent man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24)
Today is a good day to say:
“May my heart be upright in your statutes, so that I may not be put to shame.” (Psalms 119:80)
“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Sinners, cleanse your hands; and you who are double-minded, purify your hearts.” (James 4:8)
“Show yourself in everything as an example of good works; in teaching, show integrity, seriousness, and sound, irreproachable speech, so that the adversary may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about you.” (Titus 2:7-8)
So let us say goodbye to masks and walk as children of light (Ephesians 5).
May God continue to bless you
and may you keep having an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
