Shalom,

I always love when we go through the Gospel of John in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan! John 1:1-4 says this:

1 In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. 2 He was present originally with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. 4 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

Before all known time, before any of creation, there was GOD! The One, True God! Evolutionists can come up with all of the high-sounding theories that they like, but when you go back to the very beginning, there was only God! When THEY say that certain elements interacting produced a big bang, then where did these elements come from? GOD! HIS Word created everything that has ever been created! And the Word was Christ! He left His glory in Heaven to become a man so that He could bridge the gap, caused by sin, between God and man! And He DID! Now look at verses 9-12:

9 There it was—the true Light [was then] coming into the world [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] that illumines every person. 10 He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him [did not know Him]. 11 He came to that which belonged to Him [to His own—His domain, creation, things, world], and they who were His own did not receive Him and did not welcome Him. 12 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name

As many as DO receive Him become the children of the Most High God! Further confirmation of this? Look at 1 John 5:10-12:

10 He who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] has the testimony [possesses this divine attestation] within himself. He who does not believe God [in this way] has made Him out to be and represented Him as a liar, because he has not believed (put his faith in, adhered to, and relied on) the evidence (the testimony) that God has borne regarding His Son. 11 And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who possesses the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not have that life. AMP

Have YOU received Jesus as Lord and personal Savior? If so, then you HAVE His Life in you, and His Life is LIGHT in you! His presence brings everything you will ever need, but you need to discover this through His Word! If you have never received Jesus as Lord and personal Savior, then I invite you to pray this prayer with me right now, believing that He died for your sin, that God raised Him from the dead, and confess His as your Lord (Romans 10:9-10)!

Almighty God, I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ came to this earth, died on the cross for me, was raised from the dead, and is now seated at Your right hand. I accept and receive Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour and I invite Him to come into my heart and become Lord over my life. I thank You now Father, for welcoming me into Your family. You are my Father. I am Your child. Jesus is my Lord! Amen.

Amen! NOW you are a child of the Light! And His Light is in YOU! Let us know about your decision and we will direct you to a good local church where you can grow in the knowledge of HIM! In the meantime, here is Hillsong United with "Light Will Shine":

Shalom in Him!
