How do we know the doctrine of Christ as the Light is true?
Answered in 2 sources
We recognize Christ as the Light through Scripture, particularly in John 1:4-5, which states that in Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
The truth of Christ being the Light is firmly established in the Scriptures, especially in John 1:4-5 where it reads, 'In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.' This passage not only affirms Christ's divine nature and role as the source of all spiritual enlightenment but also asserts His victory over sin and darkness. Furthermore, throughout His ministry, Jesus identified Himself as the Light of the world (John 8:12), underscoring the importance of His teaching in dispelling ignorance and sin.
