There are 277
bible verses in the ESV translation with the word light in them or a variation
of it, below is just a sampling. It was such a delight this Sunday while we
spoke it centered on just that, light... being the light, sharing the light,
without a doubt truly Spirit given. To be honest I cannot remember 100% what I
said, but I know it was about always standing up for Jesus, and being able to
be a witness regardless of where you are in life (on the streets or in a
penthouse). So in turn, I share some verses below to those who happen to stumble upon this page. I also
recommend checking out this blog posting at the Unveiled Wife “Are We Living In
Gods Light”, “How
Bright Is Your Light” at Creative Ladies Ministry and give a little watch
to this
on SkitGuys.
For it is you who light
my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness. Psalm 18:28
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I
fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of
whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1
The Lord is God, and he has
made his light to shine upon us.
Psalm 118:27a
Then I saw that there is more gain in wisdom than in folly,
as there is more gain in light
than in darkness. Ecclesiastes 2:3
Who among you fears the Lord
and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. Behold, all you who kindle a
fire, who equip yourselves with burning torches! Walk by the light of your fire, and by the torches
that you have kindled! This you have from my hand: you shall lie down in
torment. Isaiah 50:10-11
You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its
taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything
except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a
hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light
a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same
way, let your light shine before
others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who
is in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16
For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is
anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Luke 8:17
If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a
lamp with its rays gives you light.
Luke 11:36
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines on
in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out. John 1:4-5
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in
darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming
down from the Father of lights
with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17
May you be engulfed in peace in the Spirit of the Lord in
Jesus name.
