Bible Verse of the Day Tuesday July 26th, 2022

2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

The very first words of God concerning this earth we live on was "let there be light." Moreover, that same Word of God in the dawn of every born-again washed in the blood, follower, and believer of Christ Jesus is also "let there be light." It was God that spoke over dark earth at the dawn of creation, and it is God that dissipates the darkness in the human heart and allows the light of the World, Christ Jesus, to enter a saved soul. 

The world of the unsaved souls is filled with only darkness because the prince of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4) has blinded the unbeliever's minds from the light of the world, Christ Jesus (John 8:12). 

As soon as the heart of one that is lost awakes in the faith of the gospel of Christ Jesus, the darkness surrounding them dispels, and the light that is Christ Jesus fills their life. Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus is the light of life; through him, we have been forgiven of our sins and received the gift of eternal life.  

 God's abundance and capability, His love, grace, wisdom, and His knowledge are displayed and manifested in the radiating face of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. Therefore, the glorious and magnificent light spoken of by God at the beginning of time flows into the hearts, minds, bodies, and souls of all that seek Him. The one who created all of heaven and earth and knows every star in heaven commands the light to shine into our hearts with His voice's all-encompassing, incredible power. This power occurs so that His truth will enlighten our hearts and souls and open our minds and understanding to God's splendor, glory, and majesty, reflected in the face of our sweet and precious Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. 

If a person desires to escape the darkness and evil of the ones that have rejected the light of the world, they have but to "turn their eyes upon Jesus," and as the old hymn says, "the things of this world will become strangely dim." God has made it possible for all to come to a knowledge of the true light through an external witness of nature itself as well as a witness of our conscience. He has given the world the resounding and conclusive witness of His Holy Word so that all that receive Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior in faith will have the right to become children of God and be adopted into His royal family (Ephesians 1:5).

The most beautiful aspect of this is that no matter where we travel down life's road, no matter how rocky our paths become or how dark the way we walk seems, the light of the world is not only leading, guiding, and directing our every step but dwells in our hearts and souls, as the indwelling of His Holy Spirit. This miracle will lead to peace in life that cannot be explained or even comprehended by the world's understanding (Philippians 4:7).
