The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.

For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light;
|
|
Isaiah 8:20
|
…If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
|
|
John 1:9, 14
|
That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
|
|

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing.”

2 Corinthians 4:4
|
…whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
|
|
Philippians 2:14–15
|
Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…
|
|
Without words about Jesus, people will ascribe your good works to you instead of God. They must see your good works for what they really are: done through God. Words give definition, meaning and understanding. Words are the light that reveals God’s truth. It is by words of truth that men see the light.
