2 Cor 4: 6 #daily devotions #scriptures #bible studies #gospel
For God….made his light shine in our
hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the
face of Christ.
Paul again
reveals the doctrinal truth that when we are born again in Christ, first He
gives us the salvation of eternal life and then He makes His light shine in our
hearts so that in turn we can share this light to the world. So the progression
is first we must be born again and only after that can we receive the
revelations from God.
We need to
have Jesus in our lives and the Holy Spirit in us as our teacher and counselor,
only then would we be able to receive reflationary knowledge about the
mysteries of the Kingdom of God. When we have received and understood this then
we will be able to share this with the non-believers in turn.
Having said
that there are criteria that we need to meet and the most important is what
Jesus said in John 3: 3 Truly, truly, I
say to you, unless one is born again; he cannot see the Kingdom of God. It is only when we have seen and understood
about the Kingdom of God before we can in turn reach out to the lost.
The apostle
Peter also taught us the same parallel in 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to
his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Therefore
now we who have received such riches from heaven must purpose in our hearts to
let our light be seen in the world.
