How do we know that God has delivered us from darkness?
Answered in 1 source
God's delivery from darkness is evidenced by the transformation seen in believers' lives; they move from spiritual blindness to illumination.
The assurance of being delivered from darkness stems from the work of God's grace in the believer's life. In Colossians 1:13, Paul states that God has 'delivered us from the power of darkness.' This signifies a necessary action on God's part to free individuals from spiritual blindness and bondage under Satan's rule. By revealing Christ—the light of the world—to us, He enables us to see and experience the truth of the gospel, thereby transitioning us into His kingdom, where we are no longer under the dim reign of darkness but are made children of light. The transformation observed in one’s life, such as a burgeoning faith and new desires aligned with God’s will, points to this powerful deliverance.
