WHERE IS THE LIGHT IN THIS DARK WORLD?
PROVERBS 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
JOHN 8:12 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.
JOHN 12:35-36 35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
JOHN 3:19,21 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. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
PSALM 119:105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
PSALM 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
PROVERBS 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
JOHN 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
JOHN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
HOW DO WE PLACE TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON GOD?
PSALM 91:9-11 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
1 PETER 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
PROVERBS 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
HEBREWS 11:1,6 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
ROMANS 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
1 JOHN 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
HEBREWS 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
HOW CAN A PERSON BE BORN TWICE?
JOHN 3:3-5 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
MATTHEW 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
ROMANS 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
ROMANS 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
COLOSSIANS 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
PSALM 51:10-12 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
