Light is used to symbolize God, faith
or holiness throughout scripture. Use these Bible verses to to gain a better
understanding and interpretation of the positive notion light has in the Bible.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path.
the people living in darkness
have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a
light has dawned."
In the same way, let your light
shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in
heaven.

John 1:5
The light shines in the
darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
When Jesus spoke again to the
people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will
never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
This is the message we have
heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at
all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the
darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the
light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the
blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be
without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify
us from all unrighteousness.
The LORD is my light and my
salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom
shall I be afraid?
Then Jesus told them, "You
are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the
light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not
know where he is going. Put your trust in the light while you have
it, so that you may become sons of light." When he had finished speaking,
Jesus left and hid himself from them. Even after Jesus had done all
these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.
for it is light that makes
everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from
the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
Your eye is the lamp of your
body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when
they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then,
that the light within you is not darkness.
The unfolding of your words
gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
Put your trust in the light
while you have it, so that you may become sons of light." When he had
finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them. Even after
Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would
not believe in him.
Every good and perfect gift is
from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not
change like shifting shadows.
But you are a chosen people, a
royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may
declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful
light.
The city does not need the sun
or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb
is its lamp.
I saw that wisdom is better
than folly, just as light is better than darkness.
