Light is used for one to see one's way in darkness. Light allows those who are in darkness to see their way. The Earth is in darkness because of man's rebellion against God, His principles and laws. When Adam and Eve sinned, they did not sin for themselves alone, but, from their privileged position as the first, originally sinless couple, act as representatives for the entire human race. Since then sin, sinfulness, and the consequences of sin have marred all of us and plunged our world into darkness and under the power of Satan. Into this darkness, God sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to give light to it. Those who follow Jesus Christ have Him and therefore they have the light that dispels the darkness of sin in this world. True believers and followers of Jesus Christ are given the following two responsibilities:
Provide spiritual light in the great darkness of sin and ignorance by teaching and example
Carry and spread light of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God all over the world so that many would turn from the darkness of sin and spiritual ignorance to the marvelous light of divine grace.
True believers and followers of Jesus Christ are admonished to “let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father." "As nobody lights a lamp only to cover it up, but places it so conspicuously as to give light to all who need it, so the true believers and followers of Jesus Christ, being the light of the world, must do. Instead of hiding their light, the true believers and followers of Jesus Christ must be shining examples of holiness in the darkness so that they who live in darkness may see what lives they lead, and seeing this, may glorify their Father for so redeeming, transforming, and ennobling earth's sinful children, and opening to themselves the way to like redemption and transformation.
