Live as Children of Light. (Ephesians 5:8)

Ephesians 5:8

New International Version (NIV)

⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.

As children of light, your actions should reflect your faith. You should live above reproach morally so that you will reflect God's goodness to others. Jesus stressed this truth in the Sermon on the Mount (see Matthew 5:15-16 below).

Matthew 5:15-16 

New International Version (NIV)

 

¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
