Subject: Light and Good Works |
Bible Note: This is what I am saying. In a dark room you will see a match, beause it is the only light in the room. In a room of people those who have moral excellence will first bee seen due to character. Our light that shines is not our works I agree, but our light that shines is our relationship with our master. Light in every physical term is easy to see, a person saved is not always one who is easy to see. But a Christian who leads a life of moral excellence will be picked out of a crowd and usually followed. That is why so many follow Dr. Billy Graham, and that is why so many have followed Jesus. I came across this post because this is what God has been teaching me about the Christian life lately. |
