“You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.” (I Thess. 5:5)

 

“You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.” (I Thess. 5:5)

“Night” is darkness; “day” is light. Night is opposite of day. The same is true in the spiritual realm. Night signifies spiritual darkness, unbelief and ignorance; day signifies light. All baptized, believing Christians have been translated out of “darkness” into “light,” out of spiritual ignorance into spiritual truth. In other words, Believers in Christ are delivered from the power of darkness, spiritual ignorance, godless profanity, and evil, and translated into the kingdom of light, of truth, of purity, and spiritual happiness.
