Bible Question: what is the significance of the light and darkness metaphor use by paul. |
Bible Answer: Dear Shael: Ask God to give you understanding and then read these verses from 1 John Chapter 1. 4And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 5This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Now Sahel, tell me how the light is significant? Please write your own words which the Holy Spirit has just revealed to you. Then we will follow up later and discuss it if you like. You can also do a word search in Biblegateway and you will get hundreds of scriptures about the light. Love Hunting |
