To Believe in the Light

Look at Jesus’ instruction about the light again. “While you have the light, believe in the light that you may become sons of light” (John 12:36).

What does it mean to believe in the light? Webster defines to believe as “to take as true, real, etc. 2 to trust a statement or promise of (a person) 3 to suppose or think, to have trust, faith or confidence in.”

To believe in the light is to make all our decisions based on that light. To live everyday according to what Jesus taught; to avoid what he told us to avoid; to act as he told us to act; to speak as he told us to speak; to be what he told us to be; in other words, to have the Character of Christ.
