God said, 'Let there be light', and there was light. God saw that light was good and God divided light from darkness. God called light 'day' and darkness he called 'night'. Evening came and morning came; the first day. - Gen. 1:3-5 -
Throughout the Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible, light represents truth, goodness and God's redemptive work. Darkness, on the other hand, symbolizes error, evil and the works of Satan.
This is what we have heard from him,
and the message that we are announcing to you;
God is light; there is no darkness in him at all. - 1John:5 -
The Psalmist declared:
Yahweh is my light and my salvation,
whom need I fear? - Psalm 27:1 -
Now your word is a lamp to my feet,
a light on my path. - Psalm 119:105 -
Light is also used as a symbol of holiness and purity. Apostle Paul counseled the Christians at Rome to put on the armour of light.
The night is almost over, it will be daylight soon - let us give up all the things we prefer to do under cover of the dark; let us arm ourselves and appear in the light. - Rom. 13:12 -
The New Testament presents Jesus as the personification of light or divine illumination. Jesus plainly stated that those who rejected this divine light would bring judgment upon themselves.
When Jesus spoke to the people again, he said;
'I am the light of the world;
anyone who follows me will not be walking in the dark;
he will have the light of life'. - John 8:12 -
On these grounds is sentence pronounced;
that though the light has come into the world
men have shown they prefer
darkness to the light
because their deeds were evil.
And indeed, everybody who does wrong
hates the light and avoids it,
for fear his actions should be exposed;
but the man who lives by the truth
comes out into the light,
so that it may be plainly seen that what he does is done in God. - John 3:19-21 -
Make sure that you are not included with them. You were darkness once, but now you are light in the Lord; be like children of light, for the effects of the light are seen in complete goodness and right living and truth. - Eph. 5:8-9 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!
I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.
HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
