WE CAN'T HAVE LIGHT OF LIFE WITHOUT HIS LIFE OF LIGHT.



John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 8:12 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.
I like John chapter 1 because it gave us the understanding of Christ not from the genealogical perspective but from the word that had been before the beginning began confirming that the world was framed by the word of God. ...unlike Mathew, Mark and Luke.

👉John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

👉John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Because of this reality Christ boldly told the Jews about his existence before Abraham just to take their minds away from being present with them to understanding the process of His physical presence.

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

It was difficult for the Jews to acknowledge Christ as being before Abraham because they were spiritually blind in ignorance.

John 8:56 -59 )Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 👉59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Christ came as light to the dead world through the arm of the Jewish tribe but not limited only to the Jews. He came as the light of the world to give life so that the world will recieve the light of His life. and live by grace through faith. The light that shines on darkness is the life that Christ brought into this world for those who will believe him so that they would shine this life as light to the world. It is a life of faith that shine in unbelieving world through the knowledge of Christ. It is a life of grace and truth.

👉 John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
👉John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

The New Creation give the light of the life they have recieved in Christ through preaching the Gospel of Christ to the world in darkness of ignorance.

👉Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
👉 Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

His life of light to this world is the assurance of the light of life of the New Creation because when Christ was teaching , he was projecting the life of the New Creation in Him not primarily to the Jews .There was no way the life of a man under the law could give a light of life. Before a man's light gives light of life in Christ ,the man must be a New Creation because there is neither light nor life in the law but ,giult condemnation and eventual death.
This New Creation lives out the understanding of Christ from both the Rhema and Logos. The light of life we have is complete. Anytime we teach Christ, our teachings should comply in both Rhema and Logos.
I thank God that the totally of Christ lives in us and our totally in Him. The light of the knowledge of Christ is the knowledge of his complete works through his death ,burial and resurrection.
So the Gospel is complete therefore we should give a complete light of life and should not mix the Gospel with the Jews laws.

Thank you Jesus.

                         YOU DO NOT BECOME A SAINT BECAUSE OF WORKS Many times believers have called those who teach the truth about benefits of Christ death, burial and resurrection as those who teach the diluted Gospel but in actuality, they are those teaching the undiluted Gospel. The Gospel is not the mind of men. It does not have to appear pleasing to any man’s hearing to be the truth. Christ came into this world to take away the sin of the world. And he did it by offering His body for sin to die in the flesh. John 1: 29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD. GAL 1: 4 WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD AND OUR FATHER. HEB 2: 17 WHEREFORE IN ALL THINGS IT BEHOVED HIM TO BE MADE LIKE UNTO HIS BRE...

GOD IS THE FATHER OF SPIRITS MAN IS THE FATHER OF FLESH Heb 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather BE IN SUBJECTION UNTO THE FATHER OF SPIRITS, AND LIVE? In the Old Testament, God was not known as a father. He was only a circumstantial God with diverse names based on the situation he created to reveal Himself to a particular person at a particular time. Consequently, many have seen God manifest in their lives in a particular situation at a particular time that made them give   God names according to the situation H created for the revelation. These names are as follows. Jehovah shama, Jehovah Nissi,Jehovah Elohim, Jehovah Adonai etc. God was not known as a father in the Old Testament because God can only beget spirit born by the incorruptible word. 1PE 1:23 BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVER . Abrah...

ON THE CROSS On the cross both sin and man died but Christ did not die. He was made sin for the body of sin to die in man and not in God. As God He cannot die, But as man He took on the body of sin on the cross for sin to die through his death. Roman 6: 6 knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed,( NOT THE BODY OF CHRIST ) that henceforth we should not serve sin.( 2Cor 5: 21) FOR HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him  On the cross man died with Christ for sins that man would be dead to sin and free from sin. Ro 6:8 Now IF WE BE DEAD WITH CHRIST, we believe that we shall also live with him: 2Tim2: 11 It is a faithful saying: FOR IF WE BE DEAD WITH HIM, we shall also live with him: Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin  Because man died with Christ man became dead to sin. Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer ...
