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.”
As Christians, we are to shine to the world what we have acquired from God and make it known to the world.
How do I make my light shine:
· When God says He is my guide, I should believe Him and live a life that has no fear.
· When He says He will provide, I should not worry about what I will eat, drink or wear for I know He is in control.
· When God says He is my Savior, I need not live in guilt like a slave but as a princess who knows daddy the king has taken care of my sin.
· When God says He is my Lord, I have to live in accordance to His wishes expressed in His word.
· When He says He is my shepherd, I should not aimlessly go about in life but follow His lead.
The reality of the matter is that God says we should ‘let our light shine’ and not ‘strive to let the light shine’. We are not to prove to anyone that we are Christians but as we live the Christian life the light will shine and glory will be given to God. Christ is the source of light so as we live with Him in our hearts, we shine forth a light that is to send glorification of God. Once we start receiving glory that is due to God, then we have a problem. All glory should be directed to God.
The light will shine as we earnestly live with Chris in our hearts and Him directing our paths.
