At one point we were all children of darkness and we walked according to the course of this present world. Paul writes of this earlier in Ephesians when he says we walk according to course of this world and according to the plans of the devil. We were bu nature the children of wrath.
But now we are called the children of light and we are sent forth as lights into the world. In Christ old things have passed away and everything has been made new. Therefore, we don’t walk the way we used to walk.
We are even told how the children of light are supposed to walk. We walk in the fruit of the Spirit which is manifested by:
All goodness
Righteousness
Truth
When we walk as children of light we are nothing like the world around us.
Children of light are to be known by our goodness. We are to be the do-gooders more than anyone else. Others should see us a good people who do good deeds.
Children of light are to be righteous live in righteousness. We were made right with God at salvation, now our lives are to reflect that rightness to the world.
Children of light are to walk in truth, pure and simple truth. There is no room for lies or trickery or deception.
We must be that ray of light that the world needs.
