Everlasting Light
Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Martin G. CollinsThe material presents the armor of light as the spiritual equipment believers must put on in view of approaching salvation. Romans 13:11-12 declares that the night is far spent and the day is at hand, therefore the works of darkness must be cast off and the armor of light put on. This armor is identical to the armor of God because God Himself is light, and light embodies truth, holiness, righteousness, and the redemptive power that overcomes every form of darkness. The command to wear this armor flows directly from the sustained contrast between light and darkness that runs through the entire message. Light originates with God, reveals truth, produces life and understanding, and equips the believer to walk in purity and to bear witness. Darkness, by contrast, represents ignorance, sin, and the influence of the adversary. Putting on the armor of light therefore means rejecting every expression of that darkness and allowing the indwelling Spirit to illuminate mind, conduct, and testimony so that the believer becomes a visible manifestation of God's own nature. This equipping connects to the broader purpose of light as the symbol of creation, revelation, and final restoration. Just as God commanded light to shine out of darkness at the beginning and will ultimately make His glory the everlasting light of the redeemed, the present call to wear the armor of light prepares the individual to live as a child of light now and to share in the unapproachable radiance that will fill the new heavens and new earth.
