His Logos
John 5:
38 But you do not have His Logos abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.
39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.

John 8: 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me,
because My Logos has no place in you.

John 2:
24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men,
25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.


The Light Of God’s Will
Man could no longer live by God’s Will, for the Light of Truth, found in the Logos had died.
Man lost his connection to God, rendering him incapable
of reflecting the image of Whom he was made, hence,
Genesis 6:5
Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Adam lost his standing as a son of God, although his seed continued as a son of man, in body soul, and spirit.
What died in him was the Will of God, as expressed by the Light of Truth found in the Logos.
John 1:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

The Anointing of God on chosen men allowed them to serve the Will of God in the Light of Truth
Acts 13: 36
For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep,
was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;

David gives us tremendous insight into the Logos and the Light of God
Psalm 119:
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

What died in man when he ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was the Logos,
the Light in his heart, and the ability to do God’s Will.
By the power of the Holy Spirit, a believer can now die to his own will, the Logos can shine in his heart,
to serve God in righteousness and holiness, in Spirit and in Truth

Colossians 3: 3
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

2 Corinthians 4: 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts
to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Romans 12:
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Psalm 40:

7 Then I said, Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
8 I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart.

Hebrews 10:
5
Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.
8 Previously saying, Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire,
nor had pleasure in them (which are offered according to the law),
9 then He said, Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God. He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light.

In Adam, man was cut off from the Light of Truth.
The Son of God, Who is the Light of Truth, restores us
by the indwelling Spirit of Truth He bestows upon us
as a gift.


Matthew 6:
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good,
your whole body will be full of light.
23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

2 Corinthians 11:
12 But what I do, I will also continue to do,
that I may cut off the opportunity from those
who desire an opportunity to be regarded
just as we are in the things of which they boast.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves
into ministers of righteousness
, whose end will be according to their works.

3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Mankind In Need of The Light of Truth

Job 3:20-23 Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter soul, who longs for death,
but it does not come, and searches for it more than hidden treasures? Who rejoice exceedingly,
and are glad when they can find the grave? Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
and whom God has hedged in?

The Son of God lifts us up from the dark pit of despair

John 8:12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, I am the Light of the world;
the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness,
but will have the Light of life.

All things spoken of Him by the Anointed Psalmist were fulfilled
in the Son of man, Jesus of Nazareth.

Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 36:9 For with You is the fountain of life. In Your light we see light.

Death has been defeated; our Savior brings us back from the pit!

2 Timothy 1:8-10 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord
or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel
according to the power of God, Who saved us and called us
with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according
to His own purpose and grace, which was granted to us in Christ Jesus
from all eternity, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our

Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and
immortality to light through the Gospel.

Job 33:30
To bring back his soul from the Pit, that
he may be enlightened with the light of life.

The righteous requirements of the Law are fulfilled in those who accept His discipline

Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light.

Reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
