‘Light’ in Scripture
Light, commentator William Hendriksen remarks, is associated in Scripture with:-
- holiness, being sanctified (Acts 20:32; 26:18, 23).
- the divine revelation: truth, and insight into that revelation: knowledge (Ps. 36:9; 2 Cor. 4:4, 6)
- love (1 John 2:9, 10)
- glory (Isa. 60:1–3)
- peace, prosperity, liberty, joy (Ps. 97:11; Isa. 9:1–7)
