This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred nineteenth inspirational message dated Saturday, March 12th, 2022. The title of this message is “Stand In Faith – John 8:12 – Carry the Light”.

The first three words of this message’s title are also the name of the below inspirational song/video, “Stand In Faith” (with lyrics) as performed by “Danny Gokey”.  The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the New Testament book of John – the twelfth verse of the eighth chapter:

John 8:12

New Life Version (NLV)

 

 ¹² Jesus spoke to all the people, saying, “I am the Light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will not walk in darkness. He will have the Light of Life.”

  

The title of this message also includes the words – “Carry the Light” – which is the “title” of the Charles Stanley “In Touch” Daily Devotional for (3/8/22) – which I have included below:

 

Carry the Light

 

 2nd Corinthians 4:1-6

By Charles Stanley

 

       THINK ABOUT LIGHT AND DARKNESS and the way they affect your ability to see. In the dark, we have no sense of direction or courage to move forward, but in the light, everything is clear. In a very real sense, this perspective holds true in the spiritual realm as well. Those who dwell in spiritual darkness cannot perceive realities about God.

      Thankfully, the Lord has the power to help us discern truth. Jesus said, “I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life” (John 8:12 – see above). That’s why the phrase “the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ” is the perfect description of the message of salvation (2 Cor. 4:4 - see below). It’s the good news that can transfer someone from spiritual darkness to light (Col. 1:13 - see below).

      Those who have trusted Jesus as Savior are now “children of light” (Eph. 5:8 - see below). God calls each of us to carry the gospel to an unbelieving world that cannot see in the dark. It’s important for our lifestyle to be distinct from the darkness around us. In your daily interactions, are you a light bearer who points the way to Christ?

 

2^nd Corinthians 4:4

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

⁴ whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

 

Colossians 1:13

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

¹³ He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

 

Ephesians 5:8

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
