God Is Light
James. 1:16–18 reminds us that God is light:
James 1:16–18 New International Version (NIV)
16 Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.
What exactly does that mean, first of all God is the light of the world, as Christians we believe without God there would be no light, just as we believe without God there would be no joy, we find the light in our Faith, in studying his word, and in doing our best to follow the path he has placed before us.
But wait does that mean as Christians we are supposed to be perfect, never to make mistakes of course not, the only perfect person to ever walk this earth was Christ because he was both God and man. I know it is a hard concept to gasp, even as Christians the idea can present a problem, but God is the great I am, and he came To take on the cost of our sons. God came to earth as the great I am.
Psalm 27:1 reminds us that:
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation —
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life —
of whom shall I be afraid?
