Let There Be LightSample

Light of Life

In the beginning, we see that the world was dark, formless, and empty and the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, was hovering over the waters. This is a great metaphor for our souls. Before the light of life enters our being, we are spiritually dead and our souls are empty. That’s why Jesus says that we are to be born again (John 3:3). We’re alive physically, but we have no life spiritually until we invite Jesus into our being. Genesis tells us that in the beginning the Holy Spirit was hovering over the waters. He is still hovering over our hearts today waiting for us to invite Him in.

When we invite the Spirit of Jesus into our hearts, God says, “Let there be light”, and our souls come alive and are filled with the light of Christ. We’re saved from the darkness of sin, and we have new life in Christ. We’re saved from eternal death, and we now spend eternity with Jesus. He then lights up our world as we do life on earth with Him. Invite Jesus in, and shine with the light of life!
