We are God’s creation, uniquely made in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:26–27). No other being bears this divine imprint. You are wonderfully and fearfully made, and your identity is revealed most clearly in Christ Jesus, the perfect image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15).
1 John 2:5, 9–10 reminds us:
“But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him… He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.”
To walk in love is to walk in light. Love preserves, strengthens, and anchors the soul so that there is no occasion for stumbling. For God is love (1 John 4:8), and since God cannot fail, love cannot fail (1 Corinthians 13:8).
When you walk in love, the enemy loses his grip of spiritual blindness over your life. Love illuminates your path and clears your spiritual vision. Where there is love, there is discernment, understanding, and revelation.
The enemy’s chief weapon is blindness. We see this in Luke 24:15–16, when the disciples walked with the risen Christ yet their eyes were restrained from recognizing Him. But when He broke bread with them, “their eyes were opened, and they knew Him” (Luke 24:31). Sight came when intimacy with Christ was restored.
Those who rule in the Spirit are those who see in the Spirit. Sight is power. Sight is dominion. Sight is freedom.
This is why the prophetic word in Isaiah 60:1–3 is urgent for our time:
“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
We live in an age where spiritual blindness is spreading across the nations. But in the realm of the Spirit, sight is only possible through light—and love is the fountain of that light.
Every time we walk in love, we abide in God’s light. And every time we abide in that light, our spiritual vision is sharpened, our discernment is deepened, and our remembrance of Christ’s finished work is renewed. As Paul says concerning the Lord’s Supper: “Do this in remembrance of Me” (1 Corinthians 11:25). Remembrance is the fruit of clear sight.
Light is always greater than darkness. Darkness cannot comprehend, withstand, or overcome light (John 1:5). Walking in love means walking in undefeatable light.
May the Lord sharpen your spiritual eyes, deepen your love-walk, and cause His light to shine through you.
Shalom.
