“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day,and the darkness He called night.” Genesis 1:1, 3-4
Yesterday was cloudy all day and it snowed most of the day. So when I saw the sun this morning, it was glorious. Reflecting the sunlight, the snow made everything bright and beautiful.
One of the ways that the Bible describes God is to say that He is light. This describes His holiness. It goes on to say that His light shatters the darkness, destroying evil.
When we believe in Jesus, God’s Son, God puts His light in us. We are then called to walk in the light of His Word. I John 1:5-7 says, “This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” Light is essential to life. God’s Light is essential to knowing and living in the truth.
