“God is light,” says 1 John 1:5. Light is a common metaphor in the Bible. Proverbs 4:18 symbolizes righteousness as the “morning sun.” Philippians 2:15 likens God’s children who are “blameless and pure” to shining stars in the sky. Jesus used light as a picture of good works: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds” (Matthew 5:16). Psalm 76:4 says of God, “You are radiant with light.” If light is a metaphor for righteousness and goodness, then darkness signifies evil and sin. “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” God is completely holy, with no admixture of sin. To walk in the light means to know God, understand the truth, and live in righteousness. Believers in Christ must confess any darkness within themselves and allow God to shine His light through them.
