What does the Bible say about being called out of darkness?

In Mark 5, we see a depiction of a man possessed by demons who represents all of humanity lost in darkness and sin. God's sovereign grace reaches down into our sinful state, as illustrated by His merciful act of calling this man out of his darkness. This event exemplifies the biblical truth found in 1 Timothy 1:15 that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, showing that God does not leave His people to wallow in their sin but actively seeks and saves them. It is a testimony of the transformative power of God’s grace in delivering us from darkness into His marvelous light.
