Where Belief Leads: Into the Light of Christ

​

Objective: To encourage believers to understand that faith in Jesus Christ removes condemnation and brings them into the light of God’s truth. By reflecting on Scripture and the example of the woman caught in adultery, the goal is to help us recognize both our struggles and Christ’s mercy, reminding us that awareness of God’s Word exposes the heart, but also points us to the freedom found in Christ. Ultimately, the objective is to lead us toward choosing the light of Jesus, walking in His Spirit, and relying on Him daily for guidance and transformation.

​

John 3:18-21 KJV

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

 

Jesus states that when we believe, we’re not condemned. Is it that simple? We struggle with so many things throughout life as believers, but scripture clearly tells us we’re no longer condemned.

​

Romans 8:1 KJV

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

​

Jesus provided us with an example of this, and he used it as a defense against the enemy.

​

John 8:3-11 KJV

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

​

Not one man could condemn her because they had darkness in their hearts. Now, Jesus didn’t expose that darkness, he just made them aware.

​

Sometimes, we need awareness of the Word of God in our lives to help us see the things within our hearts. Simple things like the innocence of believing in the words of Jesus and heavy things that help us realize Jesus is always there with us.

​

He is the light, and we can walk in that light too by choosing to believe in Him.

​

John 8:12 KJV

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

​

Here’s a prayer to help us want to choose the light over darkness:

​

Dear Jesus, I’m sorry for messing up. I believe that You are the Son of God and I’m asking for help. I don’t even know what to specifically ask for, but I know that You will help. In Jesus’ Name Amen!
