 |The first recorded words of God in the Bible are '''''"Let there be light"''''' (Genesis 1:3).  God appeared to Moses as a light, and later the skin of Moses face was transformed until it radiated light (Exodus 34:29).  [[Jesus]] was also transformed before the disciples Peter, James and John, and his face radiated the same light (Matthew 17:2). Jesus said ''"as long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world"''.
-Jesus later appeared to the Apostle Paul as a great shining light, and called Paul to be a "''light to the gentiles"''.  Paul wrote to the gentiles and said ''"but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light"''.  The children of light are the sons of God, just as Jesus is the [[Son of God]].

 In the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, New Jerusalem has no need of the sun or the moon, but rather the Lamb (Jesus) is the light of the city.  Until that day, Paul admonishes all Christians to ''"put on the armour of light"'', which is the Word of God.
