Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8.12

Man’s biggest problem is that he has been disconnected from the creative Source, which we know as God. From then on, all sorts of evils appeared in mankind. This disconnection that occurred in the Garden of Eden, when Adam sinned by eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge and evil, threw everyone under the authority of the devil. However, when we receive Jesus as Savior, we return to the Creator’s Kingdom of Love. One must accept the Son of God to be freed from the devil’s influence!

As long as you do not make the decision to side with Christ, you will live without dominion over bad situations. However, if you are redeemed, you will have authority over evil (Luke 10.19), be it temptations, diseases in your life and in the lives of your family, or other problems whose mission is to torment you and make you act in the wrong way. Jesus is the Light that will lead you to take the wisest attitudes.

The benefit we do when we teach the Truth to the lost is immeasurable. As we preach the Good News to every creature, obeying the Master, many are saved. Jesus said: And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned (Mark 16.15,16). Believe the statement that God desires everyone to be saved (1 Timothy 2.4). In the Lord, there is good will to make you wise and victorious. Amen!

Many are grateful for what the Gospel has done for them. Why not take the Good News to more people here and in other countries, once the same phenomenon is repeated all over the globe? The reward for obeying Jesus´s commando to Go, is much greater than we can imagine. It is the greatest way to thank Him for having suffered in our place. The redeemed will never be lost again, if they persevere in believing the Scriptures (Matthew 24.13).

The Day of Christ’s return is drawing near. The last trumpet will sound (1 Corinthians 15.52), and Heaven will open again for the return of the Son of Man; but no longer as the Savior of people, but as the Rescuer of the saved, snatching them out of this world, which will see the devil released and acting with all his fury in the lives of those who remain here (1 Thessalonians 4.13-5.13). Then the Judgment of those who refused to accept the Lord’s redeeming work will occur. Their fate will be so sad!

Today, Christ is the Light of the world (John 8.12; John 9.5). The only way for man to come out from under the authority of evil is to be born again, becoming a citizen of the Kingdom of God. However, when Jesus returns, His role will be that of a Judge, and all will appear before the judgment seat of the Universe. Those who have not had their sins forgiven will be sent to eternal punishment (Revelation 20.11-15). So, accept the offer of divine forgiveness with all your heart and be saved now!

To accept Jesus is to have the Light of the world illuminating your path and protecting you from the attacks of the kingdom of darkness. The Lord only wants your well being. Whoever receives Christ as Savior will receive from God the power to be His child (John 1.12). He says: Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me (Revelation 3:20).

In Christ, with love,
