Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

he is faithful in all he does.
Today's reading: EZEKIEL 47-48 1 JOHN 3
Hope In Him
The Bible says what we are and what we are not. We all must be seeking to see others come to Christ, so, we must see what the Bible says about us.
Ephesians 2:19 ► New International Version
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household,
We are no longer what one translation calls 'aliens'. If we are citizens of God's kingdom, then, we are aliens here on this earth but no longer aliens to God's kingdom.
1 Peter 2:11-Dearly beloved, I implore you as aliens and refugees, abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul.
Once we have placed our faith in Christ and are growing in Him, you may have felt it or you will-we just do not belong here. It is not our home.
But-we have been given much work to do while we are here. Ephesians 2:10 ►New International Version
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
So, who are you exactly-right now?
2 Peter 2:10 Therefore, brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.…
1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
And, so, hope in Him.
...because He loves us...
Father in Heaven,
Forgive me for forgetting who You say I am.
I give you, again, my mind; I take up my cross; make me constantly aware of Your Lordship of my Life and who I really am in you.
