The Word Speaks Light and There is Life
Genesis 1: 3

 

Again, we behold the Word speaking the Word and immediately there was light.  Christ the Word is the Light and Life.  (John 1: 4-5; 12). Spiritual Life comes by God speaking the Light of Life into dead, void, sinners through the Spirit through his gospel (Psalm 33:6, 9; 148:5; Matthew 8:3; John 11:43-44).  The apostle Paul said, “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us (2 Cor 4: 6-7).
