Let your light shine

Philippians “2:16 “Holding forth the word of life…” “holding out [to it] and offering [to all men] the word of life…” (Amp).

The scriptures says you are to let your light shine for men to see. What is the light of the believer that this world needs to see? 

Mark4:20,21 reveals that a life that the word

is yielding fruit by the word can be likened to a candle that is lit and put on a candle stick so that it gives light. 

The context of our scripture for meditation also reveals that it is by holding forth the word of life that an individual will shine like a star in a crooked and perverse generation. 

What is the implication of this to you as a believer?

It means, even though you go to church and are born again, if you are not a doer of the word of God, if the word is not yielding fruit in your life, there is no light that you are giving out.

Confession:

I am a candle that is lit, and my light is burning bright because the word is working in my life.
