“From Darkness to Light” Ephesians 5:8 chapter 4
The words are just not there to express what the simple gospel message did to my heart. I remember reading my bible again looking for answers to my hearts question of why I still felt guilt; and then I went to a church event with a friend and my hearts cry for help encountered the saving message of Christ. I knew after confessing my sins and expressing my deep felt apology that I wanted him to be in control. The father had drawn me in with his love. I was able to receive the truth about myself and how sin started in the world because he unveiled my eyes and I could finally see! My prayer for others in knowing Christ is that prayer, “Father let them be drawn in by your great love and tender mercies. Send people into their lives to speak the life of Jesus Christ: his death and resurrection, to break the power of sin and create new hearts in them for all eternity!”
From darkness to Light!
“Once you lived in the dark, but now the Lord has filled you with light. ” ~Ephesians 5:8
That is how I like to remember my story of redemption.
What Paul says invites me trust the Holy Spirit
For through Christ I can do all things.
I still have a choice to choose evil or good,
Now that Christ lives in me I can submit to him my will
and in exchange receive abundant life. I can choose good and overcome evil
and Christ is glorified. But my relationship with Christ is what fuels my desire to please and serve him.
I love Christ more and more as I spend time with him. Letting his words of love wash over me
or experiencing his character lived out in my life day to day.
It is an awesome and wonderful privilege that can be all of ours who trust our creator.
Who recieve the gift of fellowship through His son Jesus.
Jesus is the only way!
Accepting Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is the way to the Fathers heart. I have a choice to accept His great mercy to me every day by remembering how he took my sins on the cross. I pray that it remains fresh in my heart every day. ~Lord I don’t want to lose this awareness of what you’ve sacrificed for me and how much you desire fellowship with me. I was a sinner and now I am counted righeous because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. “Taking all my guilt and shame he bore all for me so that I could be free and praise the King eternally.” Janet
