God is so bright and beautiful that darkness cannot go near Him. There is nothing good about darkness because it is darkness that breeds every form of evil.
Any evil you see on earth is as a result of darkness. Darkness starts from the mind, when men engage in lies or false thoughts. Any thought that does not agree with God’s thoughts and point of view is pure darkness.
When God has labelled something evil, we must not claim to know more than God by reversing the word of God and claiming that the evil thing is in fact good.
I have met Christians who ardently argue that fornication, homosexuality and idol worship are are not sin. Wow, Christians, not really believers in the word of God. They are in the category of those who say Lord, Lord.
Christ is in their lips but not in their hearts. They actually hate Christ and His word and light but are so blind they do not realise it. This is because the god of this world has blinded their spiritual eyes or mind.
Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. (2nd Corinthians 4:4)
God Himself is light and no child of light is comfortable inside darkness or lies. People who love evil things however love lies and darkness. They enjoy evil and even boast about evil exploits.
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. “For everyone practising evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. “But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God (John 3:19 – 3:21 NKJV)
Those who love darkness hate the word of God and in some places Christians are targeted and killed, simply for loving the light.
The word of God says that darkness has never overcome light. This is because a place that radiates with glorious light and is light itself has been prepared for children of light while a place of complete darkness and gloom awaits the lovers of darkness and evil.
The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it (Revelation 21:23 – 21:24 NKJV)
There is no darkness in God and there should no darkness or stain in us as believers. Our garments should always be clean and white. The blood of Jesus is constantly available to wash us white as snow and to also provide grace and ability to be victorious over sin and darkness. All we need is hatred for sin and darkness and absolute dependence on the Holy Spirit for sanctification .
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. “For everyone practising evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. “But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God (John 3:19 – 3:21 NKJV)
Light is good and it is wonderful to belong to the kingdom of light where light is King. There is no darkness in God.
