God is Light. In him and with him there is no darkness. Ephesians 5:8 "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light" we claim to fellowship with God buh we walk in darkness. When john said God is light he meant it literally he said God is the illuminator John 1:5 "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not". It is true that light reveals all that is hidden in the dark, but it also provides energy for giving and sustaining life. In Genesis, when the earth was dark and void l, God provided light and the light not only provided physical energy for development buh also provided spiritual direction for the orientation of life towards the obedience of God's word.
God is light and his plan is that believers shine forth his light through dem and become more Christ like each passing day. 1 Thessalonians 5:5 "Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness" To walk in light is to know God, understand truth and live in righteousness because light exposes how things really are!
