How does God turn us from darkness to light?

The transition from darkness to light is initiated by God through the preaching of the gospel, as affirmed in Acts 26:18, where Paul speaks of opening eyes and turning people from darkness to light through faith in Christ. This process is rooted in God's sovereignty and grace, as seen in 2 Timothy 1:9-10, where it is emphasized that our calling and salvation are not based on our works but on God’s purpose and grace manifested in Christ Jesus. Therefore, it is through the hearing of the gospel and a divinely bestowed faith that individuals are drawn from spiritual blindness into the illuminating truth of Christ.
