What does being called from darkness to light mean?

Answered in 1 source

Being called from darkness to light means receiving spiritual enlightenment and understanding the truth of the Gospel.

The call from darkness to light, as referenced in 1 Peter 2:9, signifies a profound transformation from the ignorance of sin and separation from God into the knowledge of salvation through Christ. This spiritual illumination is essential for true faith because it reveals our sinful state and God's holiness, leading us to recognize Christ as the only hope for salvation. This transition reflects the believer's newfound understanding and relationship with God, affirming that they are chosen and called to proclaim His praises. It emphasizes the necessity of divine intervention, as humans, by nature, are spiritually blinded and cannot come to this understanding without the Holy Spirit's work.
By being called into His marvelous light, believers are no longer groping in ignorance but can now see the glorious truth of the Gospel and live out their faith accordingly.
