- (Isaiah 9:2 ESV) The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.
- (1 Peter 2:9 ESV) But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
The biblical doctrine of the depravity of humankind teaches us that we begin in the darkness. It is only against this backdrop of the blackness of sin that we understand the marvelous light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Only in understanding fully where we were—in the darkness, do we understand where we are, and understand our call to the marvelous light, the glory of God.
No one gets called into the marvelous light from any other starting point than the darkness.
