What does it mean to be children of light?

Answered in 2 sources

Being children of light means living in awareness of God’s truth and reflecting His glory in our lives (1 Thessalonians 5:5).

To be identified as children of light, as stated in 1 Thessalonians 5:5, means that believers have been brought into a new relationship with God through Christ. This new identity signifies that they are no longer in darkness but have received enlightenment through the Holy Spirit and the truth of God's Word. Children of light are called to live differently, representing God's holiness and truth in a dark world. This includes an attitude of watchfulness and sobriety, actively engaging in the battle against sin and complacency. Furthermore, the children of light are to encourage one another, edifying one another in their walk with Christ. Living as children of light is not only about personal conduct but also about community and fellowship among believers, as they collectively reflect the light of Christ.
