Title:

1

Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works and glorify your Father
in heaven. (Matt. 516)

How is your light?
Is it all aglow?
Is it all burned out?
Has it never been lit?
You have to light it before it will shine.
And, once you light it, you must let it shine.
You light it by becoming a child of God.
Three things are necessary to let it shine.

HOW TO LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE

KEEP YOUR FAITH GROWING

4
KEEP YOUR FAITH GROWING

It is impossible to please God without faith.

5
Hebrews 116

But without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he who comes to God must believe that He is,
and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently
seek Him.

6
KEEP YOUR FAITH GROWING

It is possible for faith to grow exceedingly.

7
2 Thessalonians 13

We are bound to thank God always for you,
brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith
grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of
you all abounds toward each other

8
KEEP YOUR FAITH GROWING

The apostles asked Jesus to increase their
faith.

9
Luke 175

And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our
faith.

Surely, we can ask Him to increase ours.
10
KEEP YOUR FAITH GROWING

Studying Gods word is necessary.

11
Romans 1017

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by
the word of God.

12
2 Timothy 215

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God,
a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.

KEEP YOUR HOPE GLOWING

14
KEEP YOUR HOPE GLOWING

Hope is desire plus expectation.

15
Romans 822-25

For we know that the whole creation groans and
labors with birth pangs together until now. Not
only that, but we also who have the firstfruits
of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within
ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the
redemption of our body. For we were saved in this
hope, but hope that is seen is not hope for why
does one still hope for what he sees? But if we
hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for
it with perseverance.

16
KEEP YOUR HOPE GLOWING

Hope causes us to rejoice.

17
Romans 1210-13

Be kindly affectionate to one another with
brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one
another not lagging in diligence, fervent in
spirit, serving the Lord rejoicing in hope,
patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in
prayer distributing to the needs of the saints,
given to hospitality.

18
KEEP YOUR HOPE GLOWING

We are heirs according to the hope of eternal
life.

19
Titus 34-7

But when the kindness and the love of God our
Savior toward man appeared, not by works of
righteousness which we have done, but according
to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of
regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus
Christ our Savior, that having been justified by
His grace we should become heirs according to the
hope of eternal life.

20
1 Peter 13-5

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has
begotten us again to a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an
inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that
does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
who are kept by the power of God through faith
for salvation ready to be revealed in the last
time.

21
KEEP YOUR HOPE GLOWING

Set your hope on the Lords return.

22
1 Peter 113-16

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be
sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace
that is to be brought to you at the revelation of
Jesus Christ as obedient children, not
conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in
your ignorance but as He who called you is holy,
you also be holy in all your conduct, because it
is written,
Be holy, for I am holy.

KEEP YOUR LOVE FLOWING

24
KEEP YOUR LOVE FLOWING

Love fulfills the law.

25
Romans 138

Owe no one anything except to love one another,
for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
For the commandments, "You shall not commit
adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not
steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You
shall not covet," and if there is any other
commandment, are all summed up in this saying,
namely, "You shall love your neighbor as
yourself."
Love does no harm to a neighbor therefore love
is the fulfillment of the law.

26
KEEP YOUR LOVE FLOWING

Love the brethren.

27
1 Peter 122 48

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the
truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the
brethren, love one another fervently with a pure
heart,
And above all things have fervent love for one
another, for "love will cover a multitude of
sins."

28
KEEP YOUR LOVE FLOWING

Love is indispensable.

29
1 Corinthians 131-3

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, but have not love, I have become sounding
brass or a clanging cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and
understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and
though I have all faith, so that I could remove
mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the
poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but
have not love, it profits me nothing.

30
1 Corinthians 134-7

Love suffers long and is kind love does not
envy love does not parade itself, is not puffed
up does not behave rudely, does not seek its
own, is not provoked, thinks no evil does not
rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things.
