Isaiah 42:5-7
Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it: 6 “I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles, 7 To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.
Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it: 6 “I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles, 7 To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.
God who made the universe and us put life in each one and His Spirit in those He gives new life to. So called as His People, we are to be that light to the rest of the world, setting them free from darkness imprisoned in sin. The door out of prison and into light is Jesus Christ - there is no other way of sin's penalty out nor into this wonderful grace. The proof is Jesus raising Himself from death to life after the cross.
