"...you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them, for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light." Ephesians 5:8-13
We are inadequate to fully recognize and accurately judge sin in our lives. It takes the Light of Christ to expose this darkness. So unless we intentionally seek out the judgments of the Lord, the depth of our sin remains in darkness.
"Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:14

This is a good way of showing how important and helpful it is to seek out the judgments of the Lord. I do not want to remain in the darkness of sin. I am inadequate to see it on my own. I must seek the Light of Christ. I guess this can be done in prayer and through scripture. Do you have any other ideas?
