We were in darkness when we were outside of the knowledge of Jesus and when we were not followers of Him. Yet now that we have this knowledge of Jesus Christ and this relationship with Him, we have become light and we are to live as light.

About This Quote

This quote comes from President Spencer W. Kimball, who said:[Jesus] "is the light of the world. He is the light of this world. He is the light of the world.

He is the light of this world. He is the light of the world." To live as light means to live with an understanding that we are to be Christ-like, Christ-centered, measuring all things by how they affect us and our fellow man. We are to live with a feeling of gratitude for our relationship with God through Christ Jesus.

We are to be happy in our knowledge that we have gone out into darkness, yet have now come into the light again, into God's great plan for happiness, which he has made known through his Son, Jesus Christ.
