The Walking Dead Are Among Us, and They’re Not on TV
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light. We christians are the great light in this world because we shine the glory of God straight from our new recreated human spirits. In turn our behavior is under better control. Any person who is not born again, not saved, and is not a Christian, is walking in darkness according to today’s text (your human spirit is dead to God; Ephesians 2:1-5). Unless a man or woman is born again you cannot be in the kingdom of God, die on earth, and go to heaven afterwards (John 3:3). It’s a family affair with God, and He’s only taking in people who choose His Son while living on earth. He was crucified on a cross and then tortured for three days and nights for our wrong doings. Justice must be satisfied; so be judged now by God’s word in obeying it, or die and then spend eternity being punished so that justice can be satisfied. The Bible says we will be without excuse for not choosing God (Romans 1:20). Our light shines brighter as we keep ourselves built up in Christ. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), and have been called out of the darkness expected to shine for the Lord to help others.
