Jesus says in Matthew 5:16 "let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven."

Can you imagine what the world would be like if we were in complete darkness without the sun? Just as the physical world would be without any sun, so would it be without Jesus Christ by whom light came into the world.

How can we walk in God's light? By following Him. Jesus says in John 8:12 " I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

Many follow a false light that leads them to destruction; but Christ is the true light. It is not enough to look upon this light and gaze at it. We must follow it, believe in it and walk in it for it is a light to our feet, not only our eyes. Follow Christ and we shall be happy. Follow Christ and we shall follow Him to heaven.

Once you start walking in the light, Jesus says in Matthew 5:16 to "let your light shine before men..." You must not hide your light but must minister to others so they can find this great light which is Jesus. Those who see your good works may be brought, not to glorify you, but to glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Your light produces the fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23
