Insightful, Biblical Devotions
“See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant” (Jer. 1:10).
This says a lot about our Christian testimony. Light dispels and drives out darkness. Our very presence at where we live, work, and play ought to be pushing against, dispelling, and driving out the darkness. The light of the gospel of Christ abiding in us exposes error. It reveals it for what it is, it shows the truth of it, and manifests what it is, and that’s why the world doesn’t want us around because the presence of light in your life makes them extremely uncomfortable. Your presence reminds them of what they ought to be. Your unbelieving friends are more comfortable without you. That’s why God wants us to expose the darkness and reveal the truth.
You are the salt – seasoning, flavouring, and preservation. You are the light – guiding people and then exposing and expelling darkness. Christ portrays us as salt and light and emphasizes on our potential to change society. Sometimes we shy away from our duty, but our light is to be seen. There is no place for private Christianity. The Christian is to be thrown into society where there will be persecution and rejection, but He has made us salt and light. When you are placed in that kind of environment, your presence makes a change. The idea of keeping your Christian faith private is totally unscriptural. Arise and shine today and even forevermore.
