Light is come into the world!
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Who are the truly saved and sanctified saint who have come out of the darkness into the Light?
We know that Jesus is the light of the world,(John1-9)and came to crush the darkness once and for all, not by provision, buy in reality, to then set forth a stellar example for those who come to Him on His terms to follow!
So first of all to remain in the darkness, where evil dwells, and the heart and soul stays corrupt, vile, and dead to God, truly reflects the dismal condition of the professing Church today.
To love the darkness means there is no love and fear for God and His great judgment coming on those who persist in wilful sin and rebellion against Him, which can mean most who sit under the saved IN sin gospel, still defiled in their heart, because they have refused to come into the light of Christ.
Now many who profess to be saved, have no clue what it means to come into the light, because they have never crucified their flesh as commanded through the repentance process, they and hamstrung as they come and sit under the false gospel each week, telling them they do not have to clean up their act to be saved or stay saved.
Thus the light in the eye remains in the dark, and the long lost truth that can save their soul is also lost in the darkness and confusion!
But those who truly love and fear God, who understand what is required of them to come into the light of Christ, will never make excuses why they cannot stop sinning against God, or that those who consider themselves in the light of Christ can fall into wilful sin, because that is what they are just a lump of sin, unwilling and unable to repent, stop sinning, cleanse themselves as commanded. Now to receive and walk in the light of Christ, shining their light brightly in these dark times. Which involves keeping oneself unspotted from the world, guarding the heart from the corrupting influences of the dark world and its vain attractions, plus, never arguing in favor of wilful sin or for their favorite reformed doctrines and preachers who redefined repentance, faith, and what walking in the light truly means!

The Biblical Characteristics of True Repentance: (as taught by early church and Apostles) 2Cor7:10-11 “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.”
For True Repentance to have Taken Place the following MUST have occurred:
1) Season of Deep felt Godly Sorrow for sin. (Invoked by Spirit of Truth working, Jh16:8)
2) A Crisis of Conviction that Cuts to the heart! (Sin already being forsaken!)
3) A Zeal to CLEAR oneself of all Wrong Doing against God. (Make restitution if necessary)
4) Indignation and Fear that leads to Vehement Desire to STOP Sinning!
5) Vindication and Finally PURITY of heart!
Every incident of Repentance in Scripture Follows this PROCESS. (DON’T Let anyone tell you it Doesn’t, and they will MOST certainly Try!) The Sin STOPS HERE, The Old Man DIES here, The Flesh is Crucified HERE! NOT Afterwards. The Desires and Conduct are CHANGED here. (Or never will be!)
OBEDIENCE to God follows in NEWNESS of Life and All things New! (Rom6:4-6, 2Cor5:17) If you have NOT Experienced this and have NO IDEA what it means, you are NOT BORN of the SPIRIT!!!
You may indeed have ‘RECEIVED’ Christ, and ‘Believed’ on His Name (repeated some words) BUT the Devils ALSO Believe! (James2:19) If a Person is SAVED by What he DOES and NOT by Faith Alone! (As James affirms, JS 2:24) The What he DOES PART, STARTS with This REPENTANCE!
I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds! Acts26:20-courtesy Mike Desario
