Darkness can be scary, but you don't have to stay in the dark and be afraid. God's Word can light your way if you allow it to do so.
In Psalm 199:105 it says, "Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." The Word of God can show you where you are and in which direction He wants you to go. When you learn to concentrate upon what the Lord has to say to you, you will find His special purpose for your life.
First of all, you need to focus your attention upon the Word of God by listening to good teaching from a prepared man who knows the original languages of scripture and has the gift of pastor/teacher. Then after you believe and understand what is taught, you must apply the things you learn, and soon you will be able to live your life in a way that is pleasing to the Lord.
Every one of us is born with a body and a soul, but we cannot know God nor can we understand His Word, because we are born spiritually dead. In John 4:24 it says, "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." We are born alive to the world and dead to God.
God provided a perfect solution to the problem of spiritual death when he sent His Son, Jesus Christ into the world to pay the penalty for sin. Jesus died as a substitute for you and for me when He hung on a cross more than 2,000 years ago, and now by a simple act of faith in Him, your human spirit will be made alive, and God the Holy Spirit will be free to teach you the things of God.
How do we come out of darkness and find the light of God? Psalm 119:30 give the answer to us: "The entrance of Your Word gives light."
"The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1 "The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 56:3 "In God have I put my trust. I will not be afraid of what man can do to me." Psalm 56:11
What if some people will not come to the light? Jesus answered that question for us when He said, "Light has come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light, because their works are evil. Everyone who loves evil hates the light and will not come to it, because they don't want to be corrected." John 3:19,20
Jesus said in John 8:12, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
If you have never personally believed in Jesus Christ as your savior, come to the light now and share His eternal life.
