God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

Believers are said to become "children of light" through belief in the Light, Jesus Christ Himself.

    "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  [15] Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.  [16] In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

 

Believers are to set their light on a lampstand—to make their light conspicuous.
