THE BIBLE IS NOT THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, IT IS THE LIGHT OF THE CHURCH! BUT, THE WORLD DOES NOT READ THE BIBLE, IT READS CHRISTIANS: YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

 


Jesus is the Light of the World. Light eliminates darkness, makes everything visible and allows us to see the way. Jesus illuminates our hearts, reveals sin and salvation to us, and shows us the way to God.

We too can be light to the world. We are children of God, so we live in the light and can show the light to others who are still in the darkness of sin. Whoever walks with God and does what he says walks in the Light of the World.



Light of the World in the Bible



Speaking again to the people, Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

John 8:12


As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

John 9:5


In him was life, and this was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not defeated it.

John 1:4-5


Your word is a lamp

that lights up my steps

and light that clears my path.

Psalm 119:105


The People Who Walked in Darkness

saw a great light;

about those who lived on earth

from the shadow of death

a light flashed.

Isaiah 9:2


I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me may not remain in darkness.

John 12:46


This is the judgment: light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Those who do evil hate the light and do not approach the light, fearing that their deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be clearly seen to have been wrought through God."

John 3:19-21


For in you is the fountain of life;

thanks to your light, we see the light.

Psalm 36:9


"Arise, shine!

Because your light has come,

and the glory of the Lord shines upon you. Look! Darkness covers the land,

dense darkness envelops the people,

but upon you the Lord shines,

and upon you is seen his glory. Nations will come to your light

and kings in the brightness of their dawn.

Isaiah 60:1-3


"Listen to me, my people;

hear me, my nation:

The law will go out from me;

my righteousness will become a light to the nations.

Isaiah 51:4


“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a bowl. that are in the house: so let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 5:14-16


For thus the Lord commanded us:

"'I have made you a light to the Gentiles,

for you to bring salvation

to the ends of the earth'".

Acts of the Apostles 13:47


You are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or darkness.

1 Thessalonians 5:5


This is the message that we heard from him and that we transmit to you: God is light; there is no darkness in him. If we claim to have fellowship with him but walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

1 John 1:5-7


For you rescued me from death

and at my stumbling feet,

so that I may walk before God

in the light that illuminates the living.

Psalm 56:13


The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. But we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ the Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:4-6


There will be no more night. They will not need lamplight or sunlight, for the Lord God will give them light; and they will reign forever and ever.

Revelation 22:5
