Not only are we to live in the light ourselves, but we are to reveal the darkness by His light in us. The word expose means "showing someone that he has done something wrong and summoning him to repent bring to light; convince, convict." We reveal, in LOVE, sin's wrong against God. We call them to turn from it and turn to Christ Jesus - imploring all to be reconciled (made right again) with God. Only God can do this, but He uses us as instruments.
Ephesians 5:11-14
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”
