In the beginning, when God saw that the earth was full of darkness, He said,"Let there be light." When He saw the light, He said it was good. It is good to be in the light. It is not good to be in darkness. Why? We can choose to walk in the light or in darkness. What does it mean to be in the light? What does it mean to be in darkness?
When the first man and woman sinned, sin and darkness entered them and through them, the world. The whole of mankind came under the slavery of sin and under the captivity of the devil. The current world is in darkness and the powers of darkness rule over it. Satan is the prince of darkness, and his aim is to pull everyone in to darkness, so that we will all be in darkness forever. When we are in darkness, we are completely alienated from God, and from the knowledge and revelation of God. When we are in darkness, we don't know where we are going. Darkness keeps us in bondage to sin. There is no freedom in darkness. There is only oppression, affliction, and hopelessness. Is there a way to come out of darkness?
Who can deliver us from the darkness that rules over our lives. There is only one person who can save us from darkness, and He is Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (John 8:12). Two things we must do. First, come to the light (come to Jesus). Second, walk in His light. How to walk in His light?
