In this sermon, we are reminded that God is the ultimate discriminator, dividing what is holy from what is common, and what is righteous from what is wicked. We learn that the Word of God is a sword that pierces through compromise and exposes the true nature of our hearts. This sermon emphasizes that Christianity is not a casual endeavor but a cosmic war between light and darkness. We are called to live transparently, allowing God's light to reveal and correct our innermost motives. Holiness begins with self-examination and a commitment to live as children of light, distinct and uncompromising in our mission. This message challenges us to embrace the seriousness of life and death, to live with urgency and joy, knowing that our lives are but a vapor and only what is done for Christ will last. We are urged to be bold, consecrated, and courageous, taking the verdict of light into every place we step, and to live as those already judged in the light, shining with joy and faithfulness unto death.
