The Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth. Truth is light. It illuminates what is wrong. Wrong in the Bible is often referred to as darkness.
Acts 7:51 “you always resist the Holy Spirit. II Tim 3:8 “always resist the truth. II These 2:10 “they refused to love the truth.” John 3:19 “the children of men loved darkness rather than light. In Romans 1 the Bible says, “they exchanged the truth for a lie.”
Jesus will judge the world’s people because of this. Why? Because God made it simple, in that, if someone seeks the truth they will find it. “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Ps 19:1
Darkness is wrong thinking, not knowing,
and lack of understanding. Further, many choose to be willfully ignorant so to continue to live in sin. Why? Because, simply put, they do not want to give up their sin. They consider the truth their enemy along all those who espouse such. In essence they are saying, “if you tell us that what we’re doing is wrong, or the way we’re living is wrong, we will find a way to destroy you!!” Either by marginalizing you, discrediting you, vilifying you, or even physically attacking you to the point of killing you to such you up! They did it to Jesus. They did it to John the Baptist. They did it to the first martyr, Steven.
Anyone who dares to pick up the sword of Truth becomes an existential threat to all those who want to continue to live in darkness.
If you resolve to stand up for, and live in the truth, the world is toxic to you, and you to it.
