But that is not the way you learned Christ!— Ephesians 4:20
Light and dark are polar opposites. They cannot mix. The human heart, the human condition allows for things to get mixed up because of sin and deception, and again because of the human condition and the mortal nature of man. Because of this, we must continually look to God to keep a right focus. We must continually look to the light to see the light, to see what is right and to remain focused on righteousness and holiness.
Because of the deceitful nature of the world and the human heart, we must be reminded what defines the dark and what the light is in order not to allow deception to mislead us and distort the reality of what is truly good and what is evil. By continually maintaining a fresh and accurate understanding of what defines darkness, sin and evil in contrast to the light of life and God’s holiness and righteousness, we are reminded to devote ourselves daily again to a diligent commitment to the righteous life God requires.
This is what we and every follower of the True Messiah Jesus learned when we first heard of Him. This is the same epic message we continue to hear and preach every day to declare this life saving message of God’s salvation to man from the kingdom of darkness and corruption into the kingdom of the light through His Son JESUS, our Messiah.
