Why is it significant that God is light?

Answered in 1 source

God being light signifies His holiness and the purity that must characterize our relationship with Him.

The declaration in 1 John 1:5 that 'God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all' highlights the absolute holiness and purity of God. This understanding is crucial because, as believers, our fellowship with God necessitates walking in the light, which reflects His nature. If we claim to have fellowship with Him but walk in darkness, we deceive ourselves and do not uphold the truth. The light represents divine truth, righteousness, and the life that believers are called to reflect in their lives by living in accordance with the gospel.
