Word Title: The power and hope of those who have received the light of life
Satan the Devil, who has been in control of the world for the past six thousand years, has made the people of the world not to be shined the light of life through numerous philosophers and religious leaders through the educational system and religious system, in order to shine the light of death, not the light of life, in the world.
Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, in his later years said that he could not give life, so when Jesus appears any time , his teachings shall be like a lamp without oil. Also, Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, said that if the Son of God appears in the distant future, follow Him. They made a declaration of conscience, realizing that the way they taught themselves could not solve the problem of death, although they sacrificed themselves to lead people in the good path.
Not only the secular world but also the Christian world, all kinds of personality education and philosophies are infiltrating people from hearing the word of God, who is the true light giving eternal life, so that the blind lead the blind to the pit of hell together. Against hypocrites who are spiritually blind, Jesus gave a warning:
He testified that his soul was saved by receiving the light of life through the Word of God. David, who believed in God and received salvation of his soul, testified that he was not afraid of anyone in the world.
The Apostle John taught the truth that Jesus Christ, who was in the beginning as the Word, was with God, and was God, is the God who created all things, and had life in him, and that life is the light of men (John 1:1-4). He testified of the light of life:
Before Jesus, the true light, appeared in the world, there was nothing but darkness. Satan’s servants were deceiving people by pretending that they were light-bearers.
Jesus, who appeared to the world as the light of life, in order to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah, he said that he was the true light of life who appeared to the world:
Nevertheless, Satan the devil has been constantly interfering for the past two thousand years to keep the light of life in Jesus Christ from shining upon people. The Apostle Paul testified of these satanic conspiracies:
In order to prevent not only the unsaved Jews and Gentiles, but also those in the church of God from hearing the word of God, which gives eternal life through the gospel, the false ministers who have not received the light of life will destroy the souls of people through worldly philosophy and humanity to make them prey through the false education. The Apostle Paul testified of this with a warning:
Because God alone is the author of light, any Hebrew scholar who has in his hand a origin literal inspired text will have no illumination unless God illuminates him, through the Holy Ghost. When God shine behind us, we can realize what He has done for us. God also gives light before us so that we can see where we are going. He is also able to make us to shine the light in front of people when God gives the light around us.
Before Jesus died, he said to his disciples who were given the light of life:
King David confessed his faith that God would hide his people in the dwelling place of God in the time of Jacob’s coming trouble in the time of the great tribulation, and that he would hide them in the secret place of his tabernacle and put them on the rock. God foretold this through the prophet Isaiah:
God answered the prayer of King David, who received the power of the light of life. The answer he received is also the answer that he gives to all Christians who have received the light of eternal life through the gospel:
Christians who have received the light of life are able to overcome the evil world. This power is given in waiting upon the Lord’s coming, foretold by the prophet Isaiah:
