Title: From Darkness to Light
Scripture:
“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.” — Ephesians 5:8 (NIV)
Message:
Our journey from darkness to light is a profound transformation that happens when we receive Christ as our Savior. Before knowing Him, we were lost, stumbling in the darkness of sin, uncertainty, and separation from God. But through His love, Jesus brought us out of that darkness and into His marvelous light, filling us with hope, purpose, and a new identity as children of light.
Being “light in the Lord” means that we now carry His presence and His truth within us. We are called to reflect His character and shine His light to a world still engulfed in darkness. Each day presents an opportunity to live out this transformation by our actions, words, and attitudes. When we walk in forgiveness, show kindness, pursue purity, and speak truth, we let His light shine through us, drawing others toward Him.
Yet, living as children of light requires intentionality. We must choose daily to reject anything that draws us back to the shadows, staying grounded in God’s Word and empowered by His Spirit. When we rely on Him, even the darkest places within and around us are illuminated with His presence and power.
Today, let’s rejoice in our new identity and live boldly as light-bearers, revealing His glory in everything we do.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me out of darkness and into Your light. Help me to walk each day as a true child of light, reflecting Your love and truth to others. Guide me to make choices that honor You, and empower me to shine brightly in a world that needs Your light. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
