You have life and light in Christ.1

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
John 1:1, 4(KJV)

From our opening scripture, we can see that God and His Word are one. Secondly, in the Word, is life and the life is the light of men.

Then the Bible goes on to tell us in John 1:14 that, “… the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us …” The Word was what became the man, Jesus Christ. That is why the Bible says in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

It is important for you to understand that until a man receives eternal life, he is spiritually blind. He cannot receive insight into spiritual things. The natural unregenerate man is in the dark as far as God is concerned. God cannot reveal His knowledge to him because the revelation of God is supernaturally communicated.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:14, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” This is so because 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 says, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

Therefore, receiving the gospel is therefore receiving light. This is why 2 Corinthians 4:6 says, “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” When a man has received eternal life by confessing the Lordship of Jesus Christ over His life, that is when the man can truly see.  

PRAYER
Father, I thank you for your word which I have received into my spirit. You word have brought life and light to me. May the eyes of my spiritual understanding be flooded with the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus. In Jesus Name. Amen.
