What does it mean to be delivered from the power of darkness?

Answered in 1 source

Being delivered from the power of darkness means being rescued from sin and its consequences through Christ.

Colossians 1:13 speaks to the believer's deliverance from the power of darkness, symbolizing the transition from a life dominated by sin to being placed under the reign of Christ. This deliverance signifies that by nature, humanity is inclined toward darkness due to sin, but through God's grace, we are rescued and brought into His kingdom. As mentioned in John 3:19, men love darkness rather than light, but in Christ, we are transformed into new creations, empowered by God's Spirit to walk in His light.
