The messiah, the christ, the word of god who is the light of the world, which enlighten every man.

we hear the word of god spoken to us from our hearts, we see what the light reveals to us in our hearts. the light is what quietly reasons with us throughout our lives, As we seek god, the Light is what exposes what is hidden in our hearts.

The Light is what we either love or hate. If we are committed to truth, we love the light and welcome the light to show us how to improve ourselves to be acceptable in his sight.
If we are committed to our selfish nature, we run and hide from the light and try to extinguish it.
If you love the light, the light is your teacher,
If you hate the light, it is your condemnation.

as we respond to what the Light( jesus) tells us to deny and how to live a godly life, the light increases within us and our selfish nature decrease,, brightening the light within us.

Having the hope of purity, a sinless state, union with god and entering the kingdom of heaven, we seek god ( the true gospel)

I'm really feeling encouraged by your posts, Lovethelight!!

I've heard it said that man naturally sees God as angry until God Himself begins to destroy the serpent (flesh) which torments the man through envy, pride, etc. When God begins to trod the serpent in man underfoot, then man begins to understand that God is Love, and his Savior.

Blessings!

The light teaches righteousness and holiness; it will keep you from lying, and not let you lie, and keep you in tenderness of conscience towards God and man, and never let you swear; it will check you if you do. The light will not let you take God's name in vain; it will let you see that if you do, you must not go unpunished; and it will never let you follow drunkenness, nor vain company; for who lives in that nature, are without God, and shall never inherit the kingdom of God. Therefore beware, this light will keep you from adultery and whoredom, for such will God judge; and the light will keep you from theft, quarrelling and fighting, and abusing yourself with mankind, and envy, and it will keep in the fear of God. This light which is of God, lets you see all the works of the world, and draws you out of the worships of the world, and keeps you in the fear of God; where the true wisdom is made manifest. The pure wisdom is made manifest to the pure, and put into the pure heart, and then your own wisdom you will see with the light, arising out of the earthly part in you; which wisdom is sensual, and devilish, and earthly. For while there is envy in you, there lodges the man slayer, and all the wisdom is from below while that nature stands. There are sects, and there are opinions; and there are conceivings arising out of this earthly part, where lodges this wisdom, and self-conceit, and pride; and by this wisdom the living God is not known.

Blessed are the righteous for they shall be satisfied with the just heavens of no. 8. I thought I'd be right wing at this point.
