Diamond

Diamonds are valued highly for their Beauty and rarity.

Their durability and ability to sparkle when exposed to light makes them attractive and eye-catching.

Natural Diamonds only reflect light. They do no contain light. As Beautiful as they are Natural Diamonds are only a shadow of that which is Spiritual and Perfect.

InChrist Jesus by the Power of the HolySpirit we become Spiritual Diamonds who not only reflect the Glory of God but also emit the Glory of God.

Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the World: he that follows me shall not Walk in Darkness, but shall have the Light of Life. - Joh 8:12

Light is necessary for Life - Physical and Spiritual Life.

In order to experience AbundantLife we must Follow Jesus.

As long as I am in the World, I am the Light of the World. - Joh 9:5

Jesus is telling us that only Physical bodies can manifest His Light. When He was on Earth He manifested Light. Now that He is in Heaven it is up to us to manifest Light. Otherwise, the Earth remains in Darkness.

You are the Light of the World. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. - Mat 5:14

Jesus is the Light and by receiving Him through the NewBirth by the HolySpirit we become Light.

We ought to recognize the Responsibility upon us to let our Light shine.

That you may be blameless and harmless, the Sons of God, without Rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and Perverse Nation, among whom you shine as Lights in the World; - Phi 2:15

The Light and the Salt that we spread sets us forth as SonsOfGod revealing the Deeds done in Darkness and the Perverseness of the men who do them.

So, we see that Jesus was the Light of the World while He was on Earth. Now that He is gone, we are the Light of the World.

But we need what Jesus had to be Light. What Jesus had that we need is the HolySpirit. Jesus was Filled with the HolySpirit. Mat 3:16

Since God is Perfect, Beautiful, and Holy those whom He fills with Himself (HolySpirit) are also Perfect, Beautiful and Holy. This is God's Will for us. Joh 17:21-23

In the NewBirth God prepares us for being SpiritFilled.

Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I Say unto you, Except a man be Born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. - Joh 3:5

The SinNature must be destroyed and replaced with a NewSpirit which exists in the KingdomOfGod.

After we are BornAgain, we must ask for and Receive SpiritBaptism in which we are SpiritFilled. Act 19:2-6

And they were all Filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to Speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. - Act 2:4

SpiritBaptism is necessary for a powerful Life in Christ. Yes, we are BornAgain and given the Gift of EternalLife by Faith in Jesus Christ. That is necessary for us to be SpiritFilled.

Some people Receive the HolySpirit Baptism at the same time as they are BornAgain, but most do not.
Primarily, this is a result of not being taught to expect the HolySpirit Baptism.
Secondly, there has been no demonstration of SpiritBaptism.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be Filled with the Spirit; - Eph 5:18

One of the Fruit of the Spirit is Temperance (self control). Excess is to be avoided in all things but especially in those things which cloud our Minds and subject us to Satan's influence.

Being Drunk is being under the influence. Being Sober is being clear headed. Alcohol and drugs are not the only things that can bring one under the influence of Satan,

The MysteryOfGod, the MysteryOfChrist is accomplish as we are Filled with the HolySpirit and serve Christ in His Power

If we are SpiritFilled The Light that is in Jesus is also in us. We are Spiritual Diamonds who adorn the Crown of our Heavenly Father. We are His Glory in the Earth so let your Light shine.

According as his Divine Power has given unto us all things that pertain unto Life and Godliness, through the Knowledge of him that has called us to Glory and Virtue: - 2Pe 1:3

Increasing our Knowledge of Christ enables us to access everything that God has provided for us.

But you are a chosen generation, a Royal Priesthood, an Holy Nation, a peculiar People; that you should show forth the Praises of him who has called you out of Darkness into his marvellous Light: - 1Pe 2:9

We are now SonsOfGod and joint Heirs with Christ Jesus of all that the Father has. By the Power of the HolySpirit in us we show forth His Praises who has so elevated us.

Whereunto he called you by our Gospel, to the obtaining of the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. - 2Th 2:14

We are designed to Receive the Glory of Christ Jesus and Magnify our Heavenly Father as He did.
