God created light, so He is far above light—yet how is God compared to light? Through light, we can see things as they truly are. Through God, we learn to distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong, and fellowship and sin. Sin breaks our communion with the Lord, but repentance restores that bond through Jesus (the Light). As we read in 1 John 1:8–10:
"If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—simply come clean about them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we’ve never sinned, we out-and-out contradict God—make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God." (The Message)
