ILLUMINATION PDF Print E-mail
ILLUMINATION Enlightenment. In the Bible, darkness is often used as an image of sin and death. To be illuminated is to be shown the true path of righteousness in God, thereby being led out of the darkness of sin and death. Baptism is called illumination, because in it we are delivered from sin and death and regenerated by the Holy Spirit. (Ezra 9:8; Ps. 13:3; 18:28; Eph. 1:18.)
