~ Binary: Protection or Conviction ~
Series Comment ~ When it comes to spiritual paths it is strictly a binary choice.
(1) It is a choice between the True or False. “Jesus said to him [Thomas], ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:6). [See Post #1 in this series.]
(2) It is a choice between Do or Done. Jesus said, “It [the work of salvation] is finished!” (John 19:30). Your Doing can add nothing to what Christ has Done for you. [See Post #2 in this series.]
(3) It is your choice between Religion or Relationship. Religions are geared toward self-effort whereas Christianity is an intimacy with the only One who can save. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20). [See Post #3 in this series.]
Important Note ~ We are currently in a binary sub-series of quoting short sections from books that draw parallels between physical light (the sun) and spiritual light (the Son) by Robert Lloyd Russell.
Quote ~ Light is protective, as we have repeatedly seen. Light manifests or reveals what is already there. This is true for both physical light and spiritual light. “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light, because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light, for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God” (John 3:19-21 NIV).
Reference ~ We are now in the process of quoting short sections from the ebook: “GOD’S NATURE: Sonlight Sunlight” (https://books2read.com/GodsNature).
Also from the print book: “GOD LIGHT: Sunlight Sonlight” (https://booksrlr.com/printbooks/god-light-sunlight-sonlight/).
