The light of JESUS CHRIST illuminates all the darkness in man and exposes it for what it is…sin. By the power of the HOLY SPIRIT the darkness is eliminated precept by precept.
The change in you is for all those around you to see. By your good works you become the hands and feet of Christ to others.
A person can become like light, a living picture of what God’s Word teaches, by concentrating on the light of the truth.

Luke 11:33–36 (NKJV)
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. 34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
Matthew 5:14–16 (NKJV)
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
