because they are around it, They would need to surrender their lives to Christ and
repent of their sins to be the light and no longer just live IN the light. A believers roll in
the world is to be a light in a dark world and bring a ray of hope to those who are still in
darkness that they can be saved and rescued through repentance and faith in Jesus.
