<p>12:36 <i>Believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light- </i>Our belief in any statement of faith should be just that- a statement of our living faith, rather than a mere statement of our intellectual, academic, theoretical opinion. Our lives and personalities above all are our individual statement of faith. The doctrine of the cross, of the Gospel, of the man and Lord Christ Jesus, is to be the centre of not merely our mind and reason, but at the core of our actual life and conscience. For we become like what we believe in- if we believe in the light, we become children of light (Jn. 12:36). The Lord had stated that &quot;you are the light of the world&quot;, just as He was &quot;the light of the world&quot;. If we walk by His light, we shall in turn become light in the darkness- which in John's first context referred to the darkness of the Jewish world.</p>
