Living Up To The Light
July 27, 2017
There are two witnesses of the existence of God that all people on the face of the earth have—one is the outward witness of creation and the other is the inward witness of the conscience. There is a built-in knowledge of God. Creation and conscience only bring us to the fact of God.
Romans 1:20-21 says, “For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”
And how is the righteousness of God revealed? From faith to faith. Romans 1:17 says, “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”
God speaks to a man and man responds, “God, I want to know You and I need to know You. I believe that You exist.” That’s faith. And he goes from faith to faith. God gives him more light and that light increases his faith. He steps in the light until he comes to the Lord Jesus Christ.
I believe with all my heart that there’s never been a person who died without some opportunity to have received Christ, had they lived up to the light that God gave them.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
