John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
