Understanding 2 Corinthians 4:6

Paul teaches, “For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” God’s creative power and His redemptive power are inseparable. In other words, the God who creates is also the God who redeems, and He does both with the same power. With these words, Paul gives the singular most important truth of the Bible—our Creator is our Savior, and if He has the power to create the universe, He has the power to save us! It just doesn’t get any better than that!
