The above scripture is very explicit in its description of you; it says, "...ye are light in the Lord...." Praise God! You’re the light because you’ve been born of God who is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5).

 

In John 8:12, the Lord Jesus said, "...I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." What a declaration! He knew exactly who He was and was bold to declare it. Then, in Matthew 5:14, He called us the light of the world! We’re light just as He is light.

 

You have to make bold declarations about who you are. You’re the light of the world; therefore, everywhere you go, light up the world.

 

Some may scoff, or even get upset, at your audacity of faith; refuse to be moved; keep talking your faith. Choose to walk in the reality of who you are in Christ: shine your light so brightly for others to see, and glorify your heavenly Father.
