As believers, we have been called out of the world of darkness into God's wonderful light. We were called through the gospel. When we responded through obedience, we were added to the Lord's church. We become part of a community of God's people who have been awaken from the sleep of death. In Ephesians 5:14 Paul calls on Christians to wake up from the dead and allow the light of Christ to shine in. In this passage, Paul informs believers that they are spiritually dead when the light of Christ is not shinning in their lives. As the people of God, we must constantly look to Jesus as our light. According to John 8:12, Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life."
