Walk as Children of Light
Ephesians 5:8

Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light…
Before someone comes to Christ, they are spiritually separated from God and living in bondage to sin. But when someone puts their faith in Jesus Christ, He rescues them from darkness and breaks the power of sin over their life.
Because believers now belong to Christ, they are called to walk in the light by living in obedience to God. Christians still struggle with sin, but they are no longer slaves to it. The Holy Spirit now lives in them and gives them the strength to walk in God’s ways. ~ Jeff M Newman
