“But whoever lives the truth comes to the light.” (John 3:21)

This quote comes from the Gospel according to John and it described Jesus’ thoughts after his conversation with Nicodemus. Jesus reminded Nicodemus, “No one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit”: meaning Man can only become part of the heavenly kingdom built by the Messiah through the Sacrament of Baptism and receiving spiritual life from the Holy Spirit.

It is undeniable that salvation of humanity comes from God. However, Man also must learn to open up himself in order to accept the many blessings that come with salvation.

Jesus once said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Therefore when we strive and learn to forgive and to love just like Christ, we will then be living within Christ’s truth and life.

Pontius Pilate asked Jesus once, “What is the truth?” But because he knew he wrongly condemned Jesus to death, he left before waiting for Jesus’ reply.

The Holy Spirit lives deep within each of our hearts. As long as we have the will to call out to Him, the will to improve our lives, eventually we will be living in the light.
