What's the difference between being darkness and being in darkness? What does this
tell you about yourself before you knew Jesus? (see Ch 4 Asgn #1 question 7 answer) -
✔️✔️Darkness was our nature as unbelievers. It is what we were, darkness. Now as a
believer we are a new nature in Christ, but still live in a dark world.
What's the difference between being light and being in light? What does this tell you, a
believer, about your role in the world? (see Ch 4 Asgn #1 question 8 answer) -
✔️✔️God changed our basic nature from darkness to light. It is our nature now. A
person who doesn't know Jesus can be IN and amongst the light by coming to a church
service or hang around Christians, but that does not give them a new nature of light, just
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.

nature to your old sinful nature.
