Ch. 1
The Flesh Nature Loves Darkness
The
Word tells us: “And this is the condemnation, that light (Jesus Christ) is
come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their
deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh
to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God” (John 3:19-21).
As long as we love the evil deeds of our flesh, we will shrink back from
Jesus Christ, but we come to the light when our ambitions is to please God more
than anything or anyone else.
Every
time you read the Word, you make a choice.
Either you will continue to love rebellion and walk after the flesh and
the ways of Satan, or you will come to the light.
When you come to the Lord Jesus Christ and begin to love Him and the ways
of God, you will walk in obedience and be perfected in holiness.
But if you have a stubborn heart, you will shrink back from the Word of
God and choose to continue to live in fleshly rebellion.
