Live in the Light of the Son- His Truth.

Vampires- what are vampires doing in my Bible study? I'll get to it, but first a little background. This fictional creature is well known for a few things. One of their more notorious traits is the fact (fictional fact) that they do not like sunlight, in fact it can kill them.  They are dark evil creatures that have been highly romanticized for a long time now, but when they were first created they were evil and meant to be destroyed.  Creatures that hate the light, despising the light of the sun. This is where I'm connecting it to my Bible study - evil doers hate the light of truth from our Savior, they despise truth. Like the fictional vampire who can do well in electric light, in fire light, moon light, all light but that of the sun and any that mimic the sun. Evil doers do well in corrupted light, corrupted truth, false light. We call any source of illumination a light, yet not all lights are the same and it is true with the light of truth in Christ. Many people claim to love the Lord but we know our Lord tells us many will say they did a lot in His name, but He's going to tell them He doesn't know them. He won't know those who live in a false light of truth. That false light will seem to be fine, but it's not the sun, not the Son of God. When the light of our Savior reveals evil in our lives we have to quickly repent of it, not change the light. We can't let ourselves switch from SON light to fire light.  If we put in electric light truth to replace the SON light we may seem for all intents and purposes to be living in truth, but we won't be. We will be following a false light, but we will like that light because it won't burn us, it won't stop us from doing the evil things we like. We can dance in the evil all we want without feeling the tiniest bit of scorching because we've gone away from true Light! Let us ALL look at our lives and pray that we aren't living in a false light of truth but rather the TRUE LIGHT of our Savior, Jesus Christ our LORD! Let us not love darkness rather than light. Let any evil in us be reproved speedily and let us repent! Don't be a spiritual vampire hiding from the light of the Son! Live in the light of the Son of God- His truth!

Joh 3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 

Joh 3:19  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 

Joh 3:20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God. 

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 

Joh 1:4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 

Joh 1:5  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 

Joh 1:6  There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 

Joh 1:7  The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 

Joh 1:8  He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 

Joh 1:9  That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 

Joh 1:10  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 

Joh 1:11  He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 

Joh 1:12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 

Joh 1:13  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
