As we are recreated in His image and character, we are grafted in His light...we live in Him. The Source of the light that Matthew wrote about is the life of the Son of God and as we live in the Son of God, we too become light making us sons of God, on the earth... the following scriptures explains it further... John 17:22-23 (KJV) "And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one: and that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved me.".... Hebrews 2:10 (KJV) "For it became him, for whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings." We receive the glory or the light of the Son of God as He shares it with all those who surrender their lives to Christ. This all means one thing, as this divine light is in the sons of God, we are able to have an effect on all life on earth, in a way that nothing else can. We have the authority to pull down every stronghold and dismantle every structure the forces of darkness have set up in the souls of men. The light is Spirit that overcomes every spirit of darkness that puts man in spiritual and emotional bondage. This is why we are the light of the world because by our good works, we cancel every plan of the enemy for the enslavement of man. So, the good works are the prayers, the worship and praise, the spoken word of God in the mouths of the sons of God and the acts of love and kindness as directed by the light. Since there is nothing on earth with this kind of power, then these good works glorify the Father, as the Source of all goodness, love, and grace. His name is glorified, as men receive the good works, and many will look up to heaven for salvation and not to the world.
