Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Matthew
5:14-16 KJV
14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill
cannot be hid.
15
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Jesus plainly said of Himself...
John
8:12 KJV
Then
spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am The Light Of The World:
he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the
Light of Life.
John
9:5 KJV
As
long as I am in the world, I am The Light Of The World.
As
Christians, followers of Christ, we have The Spirit Of Christ
dwelling within us.
Proverbs
4:18 KJV
But
the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and
more unto the perfect day.
Jesus told us...
Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
The life of the Christian, should be full of good works.
Matthew
16:24 KJV
Then
said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
This means a life of devotion of helping those who need help!
Matthew 25:31-36 KJV (Read the full story verses 31-46.)
31
When The Son Of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels
with Him, then shall He sit upon The Throne Of His Glory:
32
And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate
them one from another, as A Shepherd divideth His sheep from the
goats:
33
And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the
left.
34
Then shall The King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed
of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world:
35
For I was an hungered, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in:
36
Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto Me.
James has much to say concerning faith and works.
James
2:14,17.18,20-22,24-26 KJV
14
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and
have not works? can faith save him?
17
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy
faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
20
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered
Isaac his son upon the altar?
22
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith
made perfect?
24
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith
only.
25
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she
had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is
dead also.
James
3:13 KJV
Who
is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out
of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Now, although our lives are to be filled with good works, they,
them selves can not save us!
Ephesians
2:8,9 KJV
8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is The Gift Of God:
9
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Titus
3:5 KJV
Not
by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His
mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of
The Holy Ghost;
Salvation is through The Blood Of Christ, only.
Romans
3:25,27,28 NLT
25
For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made
right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed His life,
shedding His blood..."
27
Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by
God? No,...It is based on faith.
28
So we are made right with God through faith...”
Not saved by works of righteousness, but not saved from doing good
works! Our good works, which we are called to do, bring honor to The
Lord.
There two ways in which we may witness to the lost, by The Word, and
by our Christian life, (through the fruits of The Spirit.)
Galatians
5:22,23 KJV
22
But the fruit of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith,
23
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Ephesians
5:9 KJV
(For
the fruit of The Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and
truth;)
Is your light shinning for The Lord?
The
Light Of The World Is Jesus
The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin,
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Like sunshine at noonday, His glory shone in;
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Refrain:
Come to The Light, ’tis shining for thee;
Sweetly The Light has dawned upon me;
Once I was blind, but now I can see:
The Light of the world is Jesus!
No darkness have we who in Jesus abide;
The Light of the world is Jesus!
We walk in The Light when we follow our Guide!
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Ye dwellers in darkness with sin-blinded eyes,
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Go, wash at His bidding, and Light will arise;
The Light of the world is Jesus!
No need of the sunlight in Heaven we’re told;
The Light of the world is Jesus!
The Lamb is The Light in the city of gold,
The Light of the world is Jesus!

Prayer:
Psalm
27:1 KJV
The
Lord is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the
strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm
119:105,130 KJV
105
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a Light unto my path.
130
The entrance of thy Words giveth Light; it giveth understanding unto
the simple.
Matthew
4:16 KJV
The
people which sat in darkness saw great Light; and to them which sat
in the region and shadow of death Light is sprung up.
John
12:35-37 KJV
35
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is The Light with you.
Walk while ye have The Light, lest darkness come upon you: for he
that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36
While ye have Light, believe in The Light, that ye may be the
children of Light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did
hide Himself from them.
37
But though He had done so many miracles before them, yet they
believed not on Him:
James
1:17 KJV
Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from
The Father Of Lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of
turning.
I
Peter 2:9 KJV
But
ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who
hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous Light;
I
John 1:5-10 KJV
5
This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto
you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 If
we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we
lie, and do not The Truth:
7
But if we walk in The Light, as He is in The Light, we have
fellowship one with another, and The Blood Of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If
we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and The Truth is
not in us.
9 If
we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word
is not in us.
Revelation
21:23 KJV
And
the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it:
for the glory of God did lighten it, and The Lamb is The Light
thereof.
