John 8:12; KJV
[12] Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
1 John 1:5-7; TPT
[5] This is the life-giving message we heard him share and it’s still ringing in our ears. We now repeat his words to you: God is pure light. You will never find even a trace of darkness in him. [6] If we claim that we share life with him, but keep walking in the realm of darkness, we’re fooling ourselves and not living the truth. [7] But if we keep living in the pure light that surrounds him, we share unbroken fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, continually cleanses us from all sin.
Ephesians 5:8-9, AMP
[8] For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [live as those who are native-born to the Light] [9] (for the fruit [the effect, the result] of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
In John 8:12, Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.” As the light of the world, Christ exposes darkness, reveals truth, and guides us in the path of righteousness.
In our teachings we teach that light is essential for life. Without light, there can be no growth or direction. Walking in the light means living in fellowship with Christ, allowing His Word and Spirit to illuminate our hearts. 1 John 1:5-7 emphasizes that God is light, and in Him, there is no darkness. When we walk in the light, we experience cleansing, fellowship, and transformation.
As children of light (Ephesians 5:8), we are called to reflect Christ’s light to the world. This requires daily fellowship with Him, abiding in His Word, and yielding to His Spirit.
