The Bible describes light as a symbol of God's grace, truth, and Christ Himself, emphasizing how essential it is for believers to dwell in His light.
In Ecclesiastes 11:7, it is stated that 'the light is sweet,' which signifies the joyful and pleasant experience of living in the blessings of God's grace. This light represents not just the physical sun but also the spiritual illumination that comes from knowing Christ, referred to as the 'Son of Righteousness' in Malachi 4:2. The light of the Gospel is what gives believers hope and comfort, guiding them through the darkness of sin and despair. Jesus is described in John 1:4 as 'the light of men,' showing that He embodies the truth and life that believers need to thrive.
