Walking in the Light

1. Is it important for one to walk in the light of God’s Word as it is revealed to them?

“ . . . Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you; for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth,” John 12:35.

NOTE: The foregoing statement telling His disciples to walk in the light while it was here with them, was made by Christ while He was here on the earth. So today each one has the same life revealed to us through the Bible.

2. What statement did Christ make regarding His life?
“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 8:12.

3. Did Christ have reference to His life here on the earth? “
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world,” John 9:5.

4. What expression does Paul make concerning the life of Christ?

“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life,” Romans 5:10.

5. In what condition must one be, in order to receive the benefits of the blood of

Christ?

“But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin,” I John 1:7.

6. What is said of the path of the just?

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day,” Proverbs 4:18.

7. For what reason are men condemned who do not come to the light?

“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 3:19.

8. If one is really sincere, and seeking truth, what will he do?

“But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God,” John 3:21.

9. In rejecting light is there danger of being made to believe error?

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness,” II Thessalonians 2:11, 12.

10. What is the Bible said to be?

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path,” Psalm 119:105. See also Proverbs 6:23.

11. Since the Bible is a lamp to our feet, what important thing does it give?

“The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple,” Psalm 119:130.

12. Does Christ place a blessing on those who read, and obey the Revelation?

“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein,” Revelation 1:3.

13. After one sees, and obeys Bible light, may he then be rejected because of unbelief?

“I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the Lord having saved the people out of the land of Egypt afterward destroyed them that believed not,” Jude 5. Also see Ezekiel 18:24.

14. For whom are these things written?

“Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come,” I Corinthians 10:11.

15. Upon what conditions only may we be made partakers of His promises?

“For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end,” Hebrews 3:14.

O Word of God incarnate,
O wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky!

It is the golden casket
Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ the living Word.

Terms & Conditions

Introduction: Each group member that joins agrees to abide by and defend the guiding principles shared below. We do this in order to make everyone feel welcome, but in particular, to level the playing field. When the playing field is uneven, the road tends to be bumpy and steep. The group was created specifically to create an environment where everyone can be free to

a) Debate spiritual issues of concern,
b) Share own knowledge
c) Learn from others.

We do this fully aware that some of us do not have such opportunities in the churches or congregations they come from. In fact most churches or congregations avoid teaching the Scriptures and worse, some teach wrong doctrines.

In short, here are the core principles by which members are expected to abide, defend and to promote:
1. Members join in their individual and private capacity, i.e. no one may represent their church or assembly.

2. No member may use his/her title to intimidate/bully or impose views on others – the idea is to share knowledge, not to tell others what to know or think.

3. None of the members claim to be experts on religious or any topic discussed on this platform. We aim to share the little we know for the mutual benefit of everyone.

4. All members are expected to participate actively so that there is joint ownership of the outcomes of the discussions.

5. No member may discriminate against any other member on any grounds, including race, gender, age, religion, nationality, etc.

6. Members have the right to propose a topic or ask questions. However, questions must be relevant to the topic being discussed at the time. New topics should only be proposed when the current topic is formally closed or has become stagnant.

7. Members accept to be addressed as brother or sister without any intention to disrespect anyone. Mutual respect is expected and implied in all interactions in this platform.

8. Membership in this group is open to everyone irrespective of the denomination, race, gender, age, nationality, title, etc.

9. Members accept that, from time-to-time, we may need to call one another to order should members digress from the topic or create other problems. This is necessary so that we maintain order and ensure progress in line with the mandate of the group.

10. Members who deliberately undermine the group principles and show no repentance after attempts to correct them maybe sanctioned by the group administrator by way of suspension or permanent expulsion from the group.

11. Given that this is an international platform, members are requested to use and stick to English as language for the purposes of discussions and questions.

12. From Friday evening until Monday evening, the group takes a break from discussing formal topics. In this time, members are free to share none topical issues of common interest, e.g. messages, warnings, information of common interest, etc.

13. No internal issues that are specific to a particular church or congregation may be shared, e.g. members from a particular church or congregation discussing issues that are not of common interest to the group unless it’s an open invite to everyone the group in general. Otherwise, such issues should be handled offline between the individuals involved.

14. Although not desirable for the group, members are free to peacefully exit the group at any point in time when they feel like doing so.

15. The group principles are subject to review from time-to-time through the group administrator.
