It is now generally believed that <u>light is a fluid, or real matter, existing independent of other substances<\/u>, with properties peculiar to itself. Its velocity is astonishing, as it <u>passes through a space of nearly twelve millions of miles in a minute<\/u>. Light, when decomposed, is found to consist of rays differently colored; as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The sun is the principal source of light in the solar system; but light is also emitted from bodies ignited, or in combustion, and is reflected from enlightened bodies, as the moon. Light is also emitted from certain putrefying substances. It is usually united with heat, but it exists also independent of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:12pt 0 12pt 36pt;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family:Montserrat;\">2.

This is one of the light\u2019s purposes for the children of God. They shed light on the unknown or the dark making them discernible, detectable, observable or perceptible. Sons of light bring illumination through their prayers, preaching and lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:12pt 0;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family:Montserrat;\">The participles of light cannot be seen but the expose what is in darkness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:12pt 0;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family:Montserrat;\">Light is a fluid, or real matter, existing independent of other substances, with properties peculiar to itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:12pt 0;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family:Montserrat;\">All the beautiful colors of this world find their fullness in light.

Could it be that children of God are His out-raying just as Jesus, the firstborn is called His out-raying in the book of Hebrews?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:12pt 0 12pt 36pt;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family:Montserrat;\">Heb 1:3 AMP He is the sole expression of the glory of God [<strong>the Light-being<\/strong>, the <u>out-raying or radiance of the divine<\/u>], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God\u2019s] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power.

Children of God are His glory; they are the radiance of God. Awesome thought ei!!! Better believe it. It\u2019s true. We are not the upholders of all things in the sense that Jesus is but we are in the sense that we are the salt of the earth and the light. Without us, this world would have decayed a long time ago. We are the preservatives. The more we grow and the saltier we get, the healthier the earth will become, the more preserved the earth will become. What awesome a privilege it is to be made a child of God, a participator in the divine nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:12pt 0;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family:Montserrat;\">The world was darkness before Christ.

I couldn\u2019t agree more. Children of God are the life of the World. Without them, fallen creation has no hope. That is how God has designed it.

It is the life force that sustains the earth.
