Millions of lights

As born-again believers, we are differentiated by our faith in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for our sins and was resurrected 3 days after, and thus defeated the sting of sin, which is death. We are now on the road to righteousness, a projectory that will ultimately bring us to life eternal. Our salvation is by the grace of God on the basis of our faith in Christ, not by our conformity to the Mosaic law or by our works. Nothing we can do will get us saved except our faith and belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.

Of course, once we are saved by Christ, our life journey begins with Him transforming us to become like Him. We need to work out our salvation with fear and trembling as it is only right that we present our bodies as a living sacrifice for the redeeming sacrifice Christ made for us on the cross. We need to be transformed from inside out, and as we reflect God’s glory in our lives, we do the good works that God had prepared for us, as we work out God’s plans and purposes for our lives.

If we follow this path, we will never be afraid to meet Christ anytime that God calls us home since we are living in the centre of His will. We are thus a light in the sea of millions of lights that will illuminate the darkness in the world and give hope to millions of others that there is a real and genuine path to salvation as Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!

The message this morning is that our light may just be tiny, but we are not alone. There are millions more of us. We are thus a sea of lights like the millions of tiny plankton that whales and other marine creatures feed on. Some say nearly 80% of the earth’s oxygen supply is produced by oceanic phytoplankton. Like the plankton, our collective worship and prayers ushers the glory of God and enable the spiritual realm to penetrate more into the physical. When we pray and intercede, we are never alone. There are millions of others like us praying and interceding for the world and those who are lost.

Have a blessed week ahead! Know that we are not alone in our spiritual walk. God is with us. There are millions of others with us, too! If we could see the earth through spiritual eyes, I believe it is a shiny and bright star illuminated by millions of believers who are for Christ! A true manifestation of His glory throughout the vast universe!
