Psalms 139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness hides not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
[The Great Controversy pp 88] As they have become partakers of the righteousness of Christ, and their characters are found to be in harmony with the law of God, their sins will be blotted out, and they themselves will be accounted worthy of eternal life… Whatsoever we do, whether at church, at work or in our interaction with other persons, we must do it as if in the light of day, and it must be able to pass the smell test of The Almighty God.
The reason for this is that God desires us to mature to the point where persons can be subjected to the closest scrutiny, and yet, come out clean. In this way not only God, but we ourselves may be vindicated. The Lord has promised to cast all our sins into the depths of the sea, and He will, if we come clean by confessing and forsaking our sins. But to wait until we are exposed, like Achan and Judas will cause the name of Christ to be greatly dishonored.
In closing, let us always remember that the work of salvation is to have Christ formed within. This does not happen overnight, it is a work in progress, but it should be our firm purpose to cooperate with the heavenly agencies through our freedom of choice so that the work of God may be perfected in us. We therefore end with a gentle reminder that God sees and knows it all.
1st Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
