DARKNESS

1 John 1:6
So we are lying if we say
we have fellowship with God
but go on living in spiritual darkness.
We are not living in the truth.



In the Bible, darkness is typically symbolic of nothingness, while light is usually symbolic of opportunity and a better place. For instance, plants that have enough sunlight always grow healthier than those left in complete darkness. There’s a story about a businessman who wanted to determine which of his two sons were the worthier of inheriting his company. He gave a small amount of money to each and said, “With this money you are to buy something that will fill this house.” The elder son bought the cheapest and bulkiest thing he could buy so he bought straw enough to cover the floor. The youngest son, who knew the wisdom of his father, bought candles which he took home and lit one in each room, so that their light would fill the house. The Father said, “To you, I give over my business. You have shown true wisdom.” Stay out of the spiritual darkness and know what true living is in fellowship with God in the light.
