About Light against sin…
Romans 7:13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me?
By no means! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it produced death
in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become
utterly sinful. (NIV)
Sin is an utter darkness yet sin masquerades as light. Sin
makes the sinner believe there is no Light or the Light of the world is a farce.
In our lives, the darkness of sin wants our soul. In our lives, the darkness of
sin wants to possess us, own us, and control us in every way. Our weapon against
sin is the blood of Christ. It is in Christ we are able to find a way to deal
with sin. Without Christ, we are helpless against sin. Without Christ, sin will
have its way with us and we will sink faster and faster into sin's abyss. Christ
came to us as the Light of the world. When our souls have been immersed in the
darkness of sin, we have a way to find the Light and the Light is Christ. Christ
dying on the Cross in such utter agony, covered with the blood of His torture,
sacrificing His all for no selfish reason, seems to be an act of futility in a
world steeped in darkness. Yet, Christ's Light in you, living in you because you
have turned away from sin, gives you the eternal love, comfort, compassion, and
forgiveness that brings ultimate freedom…and the ultimate victory called
eternal life.
