Now this is the message. "I want to show you the advantage of joining with us in this fellowship." From his Son. The Christ is the source of this message. Compare Hebrews 1:1-2 and notes. God is light. The ancients thought of light as the purest and most perfect of all material substance. The message that God is light says that He is pure and holy!!! Compare 1 Timothy 6:16. John declares three things about God in his writings: God is light: God is Spirit (John 4:24); God is love (1 John 4:8). [The mystery religions called their "secret knowledge" light.]
