God's effective call delivers you out of spiritual darkness into the light of Christ. When you see the light, it comes quickly to dispel darkness. The change is sudden and abrupt. Darkness is defeated immediately in the presence of light. That's how God effectively calls you. Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). Jesus Christ is the light.
God's effective call opens your eyes of understanding to the truth of Christ. Jesus said, I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life (John 8:12). You are called by God to see the light, that you may know the truth of God in Jesus Christ (John 8:31). He is the light of life. Salvation comes through the gospel, as God calls you out of spiritual darkness into the light of Christ.
God's effective call gives you freedom from spiritual darkness. It is not your achievement. Rather, the light comes to you from without, changing your heart within. Light is Jesus Christ coming into your dark heart. Then you may testify, "I saw the light." Give all the glory to Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
God's effective call enables you to walk in the light. When you see the light of truth, then you are able to walk in the light. If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). God's effective call brings you out of darkness, to walk in the light of Jesus Christ our Lord.
