'The Agape Letters' to the House of Faith!

Volume 4 Chapter 7 Page 12

Tuesday July 17, 2007       2 Av 5767 (Hebrew 10th Month)

"'Light' House!"

 
"Faith Beams Outward!"

 

2 Corinthians 4:4-6 (Amplified Bible)
 
For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers' minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.
For what we preach is not ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves [merely] as your servants (slaves) for Jesus' sake.
For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

 

What Saul of Tarsus did not realize before his 'Transformation' while traveling on that dusty road leading into the city of Damascus, was that as the 'Persecutor' of those 'Light Bearers' of the Gospel, he was being 'Drawn' by God's Spirit into a life of 'Blinding Faith' in Christ.

Light ALWAYS emanates 'OUTWARDLY', ALWAYS dispels 'DARKNESS' and ALWAYS 'LEADS' those who are 'LOST' to 'SALVATION' from the destruction that awaits those who 'REFUSE' guidance.

It would be later in the Apostle Paul's life, that he would 'SEE' how God could use him as a 'House of Light', illuminating 'the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God', for the SOUL purpose of 'Guidance and Direction' by Holy Spirit in the lives of Believers in Christ.

While there are many living in this world today 'blinded by the god of this world', they are only able to view their life as a 'raging ocean void of direction and purpose'.

Paul who gladly received God's 'Direction towards Destination' in his life as a Believer and Teacher of 'Truth', where in his letters he essentially teaches me of the utmost importance of 'Following' the 'Impartation of Light' given by Holy Spirit which 'RESTORES' my eyesight.

As I am a 'House of Light', 'Redesigned' by HIS Spirit, I must be Obedient to Christ, a servant found Faithful in guiding those who are 'Blind and Mis-guided', to the shores of 'Eternal Life', HIS Kingdom that is 'Safe and Secure' from every storm!

More of who Christ IS to me!

          MORE like HIM,

                        I desire to be!!

                      Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

O'Lord, thank YOU for Light which guides me each day!
With Direction and Purpose did YOU save me from a sure death!!
I must share this Truth with those who are lost,
that they will find YOUR 'Salvation'!!!
YOUR Kingdom must be established within the hearts of men,
that they may 'SEE' YOUR Glory and Fullness for Eternity!

Give Praise to our Lord and Savior!!!
NOW and FOREVER, HE REIGNS ETERNAL!
Amen!!!
