What is light? Light is what enables you to see. The light within is what enables you to see your true self. If there no light there is darkness. If there no light within man, he is blind. Blindness is ignorance and ignorance is darkness. Jesus said that if the light that is in us is darkness, how great is our darkness (Matthew 6:23).
The bible says, the Spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. Man’s Spirit is the light within man. Within man is the light of God. God brings the light within man by way of his spirit. The spirit of man is also the light or the Spirit of God. Within man is the light that is to shine within darkness. Light within man is his real entity. This light is the means to which Man should live.
In a society we pay so much attention to the exterior of everything that we do not think much about the interior. God created man in his own image (Genesis 1:26-27). The question that comes to mind is: what is the image of God? We recognize the image of God, by way of understanding the light within us.
The scriptures describe the children of God as the light of the world. We are identified as light because our true self is light. This true self is God’s image. The question is, why are we not all living in the light, if the light of God is already within us? We were all in the light as we were with God in the beginning. But our light was turned off when we ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We partook with Adam and Eve of that tree, and by doing so we disobeyed the commands of God.
How do we turn this light back on, is the next question? This is what we will discuss in our next article.
