“Knowledge Is Light”
Sunday, February 23, 2025Key Verse
“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14
Text — Habakkuk 2:13-14
Message
Knowledge is a key pillar of wisdom which we frequently associate with light. This is perhaps a consequence of our ability to see things when there is light, and seeing is often a first step towards understanding. Knowledge is the light in the darkness of ignorance. Knowledge is also power because it gives us the ability to influence what people do and how they act. This means that knowledge helps to positively shape society, bringing great benefits to everyone.
Our Bible passage reveals that the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord. It is the desire of the Almighty God that every living soul has the knowledge of Him and comes to the understanding that without God we are nothing. God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. To fellowship with God is to walk away from darkness and accept the light. You cannot remain in darkness and say you are a friend of God. You need to first turn away from darkness and embrace light so you can walk upright.
Therefore, you must repent and turn away from your sins of lying, fighting, disobedience to parents and stubbornness and the Lord will accept you.
