> “But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be
> made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”–John 3:31
>
> Cockroaches run for cover when the light is turned on, while bugs are
> found underneath a log when turned over, and criminals hide under a
> disguise when committing devilish deeds of destruction. They all hide
> under the cover of darkness.
>
> God’s people run to the light. Why? Because God’s people have a desire
> to be clean before God, to flee from the darkness of sin, and to find
> maturity, hope, and encouragement.
>
> A child of God who has been born of God does not live to do good deeds
> to earn their way to heaven, but because they are going to heaven they
> do good deeds. They love as the Lord Jesus, they live as the Lord
> Jesus, and, unlike the Lord Jesus, they repent of known sin, but they
> want to be clean as their Lord.
>
> Anything less is suspect, anything more is sustainably built upon
> because of God’s Word. A lost man sees the light and he can’t take it,
> for he closes his eyes; but a saved man opens his heart for he wants
> God’s heart to open wide in them.
