The second illustration that Jesus used in the first Beatitude is in Matthew 5:14-16,"Ye are the light of the world. . . "
When we are born again, we will be like light, because we have received light into our spirit.
"That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowedging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus." PHILEMON 1:6
If we do not acknowledge by knowing and saying the good things that are ours or in us in Christ Jesus, then we can not communicate or tell others about our faith effectively!
