LESSON SIX
How to walk in the light!
The Holy Bible is a book of
light. Jesus is the light of the world. We are to be lights in the Lord, so
that we will shine in the world. there are seven books in the Bible that are written
to us as followers of Jesus to tell us how to shine for Jesus; they are:
| James |
1, 2, and 3 John |
| 1 and 2 Peter |
Jude |
The book of James was written to show how our
faith causes action (works) and how we can have victory in trials and temptations.
James tells us how we should consider ourselves fortunate when all kinds of trials come
our way. Why? (See James 1:2-4.)
