“Under The Spotlight”

Is there a verse in the Bible that says that when sin is exposed to the light, it will die?

Sincerely,
Light Of My Life

Dear Light Of My Life,

The verse you are most likely thinking of is Jhn 3:20.  Jesus is talking about the relationship between evil (darkness) and the truth (light).  When we do evil, we do not wish to have it exposed by the truth – the truth is the enemy of evil deeds.  It is our bad behavior that often keeps us from accepting God’s Word; we fear having our poor choices exposed (Jhn 3:19).  However, when we deeply desire to live godly lives and become the people we ought to be, we seek out the truth… even if the answers are painful (Jhn 3:21).
