“God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all…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” (1 John 1:5, 7).
We are all familiar with bright light that exposes everything clearly. For example, we may think a pane of glass is clean, but when the sun shines through it, we often see that it is really quite dirty. God is light in a moral way, and His light exposes our sin. No darkness can exist in His presence; His light reveals everything. This is frightening to us naturally, and makes us want to hide from that light. That is why unsaved people do not want to be in God’s presence; it shows all of their sin.
But when we are saved, we walk in the light, and have the confidence that whatever that light has exposed, the blood of Christ has covered. We do not have to be concerned about the brightness of God’s light, for the blood of His beloved Son has put away our sin. His light shining on us shows only the purity of Christ Himself. What comfort this gives us!
