There is a great deal of tension between light and darkness, between what is good and what is evil. Ephesians 5:11, addresses this struggle and encourages believers to expose the deeds of darkness.
“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them”
We are called to shine the Light of Christ in a world that is often filled with darkness. This means being courageous and standing up against injustice, deceit, and immorality.
Being a light-bearer requires us to be vigilant and discerning. It means being aware of the influences and values around us and intentionally choosing to align ourselves with what is good and pleasing to God.
We have the opportunity to make a difference by speaking out against wrongdoing, extending love and grace to those in need, and living lives that reflect the character of Christ.
Be mindful of your role as a child of light. Examine your life and ask yourself:
- Are there any areas where I have been complacent in the face of darkness?
- Are there opportunities to bring truth and love into my relationships, workplace, and community?
Be intentional and active in living out your faith. As you determine to do so, you become a beacon of hope and an agent of transformation in a world that desperately needs the light of Christ.
