Is there a creator?

                                                  God is Light!

1 John chapter 4 verse 8:-   8 Whoever does not love has not come to know God, because God is love.

Most of you will recognise this scripture, and many of you who study the Bible will know what this is actually telling us about God and his personality? So we will not spend more time on this aspect of the true God Jehovah, other than to say that everything Jehovah does if motivated by Love. Even when he acts against the wicked, he does this when there is no other alternative!

1 John chapter 1 verse 5:-   5 This is the message that we heard from him and are announcing to you: God is light, and there is no darkness at all in him.

But I suspect that there will be less among you who have heard that Jehovah is also known as the God of Light? So what does this saying actually mean for us as servants of the true God? To answer this question we will be using many Bible scriptures to help us understand:

                                                                       Enlightenment?

John chapter 1 verses 9 and 10:-   9 The true light that gives light to every sort of man was about to come into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him, but the world did not know him.

John chapter 1 verse 14:-   14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of divine favour and truth.

We as the people of this Earth, for an all to brief time, had the great light of the knowledge and love of God living among us. A few were privileged to learn from this enlightened Son of Jehovah, but most people never got to know him, and because of stubbornness, wickedness and a lack of faith to see the one who is the image of the God of light for what he was. But in time the enlightenment was spread by those who loved the truth, and through them many became children of Jehovah's love reflected in Jesus Christ Son of God who brought the light of truth into the world. He is God's only begotten Son, created by Jehovah himself, everything else in our Universe was made through him, Jehovah supplying the power and knowledge to do so!

Proverbs chapter 8 verses 22 and 30:-   22 Jehovah produced me as the beginning of his way, The earliest of his achievements of long ago. - 30 Then I was beside him as a master worker. I was the one he was especially fond of day by day; I rejoiced before him all the time;

                                                                   The Light of Truth!

Colossians chapter 1 verses 15 and 16:-   15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him.

Jesus Christ, God's only Begotten Son, the only creation Jehovah personally made, So Jesus then became a master worker following Jehovah's direction: He is the one who has lived with Jehovah before the Universe was created, even before the Angels were created, but he is not God, he is what Jehovah himself says he is:  Matthew chapter 3 verse 17:-   "This is my Son the beloved whom I have approved".

                                                                  Turn on the Light!

John chapter 3 verses 19 and 20:-   19 Now this is the basis for judgement: that the light has come into the world, but men have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked. 20 For whoever practises vile things hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be reproved.

Most of mankind will not accept the teachings and commandments that Jesus Christ placed upon his true and faithful followers. And there are others who say they are Christians but do not let their light shine before men, because the light they think they have is actually darkness. If you do not spread the truth about Jesus Christs teachings and recognise the true God Jehovah as having sent him, then you are still in darkness. To be a follower of Jesus you must live by and share the light of truth not hide it!

John chapter 8 verse 12:-   12 Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will by no means walk in darkness, but will possess the light of life.”

Matthew chapter 5 verse 16:-   16 Likewise, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens.

                                                            Walking in Darkness?

If you are walking in darkness today, it is because you do not want to really follow Jesus' example, you do not want to be Sons of light, the choice is yours, but so are the consequences of choosing wrongly! If you choose to be a follower of Jesus Christ the Son of God, you must live by his example in teaching and preaching the truth, and by this you prove yourselves to be children of light, this is your obligation!

John chapter 11 verses 9 and 10:-   9 Jesus answered: “There are 12 hours of daylight, are there not? If anyone walks in daylight, he does not stumble into anything, because he sees the light of this world. 10 But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

John chapter 12 verse 35 and 36:-   35 So Jesus said to them: “The light will be among you a little while longer. Walk while you still have the light, so that darkness does not overpower you; whoever walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, exercise faith in the light, so that you may become sons of light.

A person who has been enlightened by Jehovah's Holy Spirit knows the truth, and does not walk in darkness, but has become through correct knowledge and understanding of that truth  a footstep follower of Jesus Christ the Son of God a true Son of Light!                                 

                                  Become Sons of Light!
