We know God has called us out of darkness when we experience new life and understanding through faith in Christ.
1 Peter 2:9 states that God has called His people 'out of darkness into His marvelous light.' This transformation signifies that all believers experience a radical change when they come to faith in Christ. The power of God is essential in bringing us out of spiritual darkness, which is reflected in passages such as Acts 26:18 and 2 Corinthians 4:4-6. The process of awakening and enlightenment is not something we can accomplish on our own but is entirely the work of the Holy Spirit. As God opens our eyes to His truth and allows us to grasp our need for redemption, we recognize the overwhelming grace and love He has poured out on us, affirming our identity as His children.
