Walking in the Light

John 14:20

In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

As new men and women in Christ, we are identified by our obedience to God's commandments and the fruit that we bear from His callings.  Our lives become expressions of the gifts of the Holy Spirit that have been given to us - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  In everything we do, we share the perfect love and forgiveness that we received from the Father with the world around us.  We please the Father by bringing honor and glory to His name, the name of His Son, Jesus and to the Holy Spirit.

And we know with absolute certainty, that there is no possibility that our lives are the result of our inherent holiness.  All that we see that is good that is being manifested in our lives is being worked out through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.  The indwelling of Our Savior is the foundation of our lives and our reasoning.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to be Our Savior.  We rejoice in our new lives that we take on when we receive and accept the redemptive work of the Cross.  We pray, Father, that we be emancipated completely from the darkness in our old lives.  May we walk in the Light of the World, Jesus Christ.
