What does the Bible say about God being light?

Answered in 17 sources

The Bible declares that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5), signifying His absolute purity and holiness.

In 1 John 1:5, it states unequivocally, 'God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.' This statement is central to understanding God's nature; it highlights His absolute purity, holiness, and righteousness. The light signifies not only God's character but also His truth and the revelation of Himself to humanity. Just as light reveals and illuminates, God, as light, exposes sin and deception, making it clear that any teaching that contradicts this message is fundamentally flawed and misrepresents His nature. This truth emphasizes that God is not a mixture of good and evil but is purely just and holy.
