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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes believers as being called out of darkness into God's marvelous light, signifying a transformation from spiritual ignorance to truth.

In 1 Peter 2:9, believers are depicted as those called out of darkness into God's marvelous light, illustrating a profound spiritual transformation. This change signifies moving from a state of ignorance and sinful darkness into the truth and revelation of God through Christ. The 'darkness' represents unbelief, where individuals remain blind to the reality of their sin and the true nature of salvation. Conversely, being in the 'light' means seeing one's need for Christ and embracing the truth of the gospel. This change reflects God's sovereign initiative, as He calls and regenerates the hearts of His chosen people, enabling them to respond in faith.
