ARE YOU ONE OF THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT?

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:26). “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the Children of God.” (Matthew 5:9). “Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.”(Ephesians 5:7-14). “Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” (1 Thessalonians 5:50). “for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.” (Luke 16:8b).“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” (Matthew 10:16). Remember the devil has been around for over six thousand years and he is a lot smarter in the ways of the world than the Children of God. But Jesus who has been around longer than him is the smartest of all and one in spirit with God, and the Holy Spirit. In fact Jesus was the first thing that God created. “These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;” (Revelations 3:14b). The Children of God and The Children of Light are one and the same. “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.” (John 8:12). “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 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.” (John 1:1-14). Jesus said to some; “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (John 8:44).

So there is no “in the middle, or on the fence,” or “lukewarm”. “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”(Matthew 6:22-24). These verses apply mostly to those who live just for themselves and who are trying to climb the latter of success to worship the god of Mammon and to gather wealth for ungodly purposes, not those who are struggling to provide for their families and help the Lord’s work of getting out the Gospel. “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”(1Timothy 6:10). Notice it doesn’t say that money is the root of all evil, but the love of money is the root of all evil. So be sure to keep in prayer and in the Word so you won’t be overcome and overwhelmed by the cares of this life

“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:16). Don’t make Jesus sick to his stomach by being half hearted and lukewarm! “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15). “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”(Ephesians 6:12). “For many are called, but few are chosen.”(Matthew 22:14). You have to choose to be chosen!

Say this prayer to become one of the Children of Light and be saved.
