Because man fails to do as Jesus instructed he continues in the darkness.

“He who acts in truth (God’s word) comes to the light (God’s word) so his deeds are revealed as works of God.”

Because I act in truth, in God’s word, the works I do are revealed to me. You not so much.

You are acting like a pet in obedience training with the Bible as your rule book, NOT like a child of God trying to mature into a spiritual adult. Sadly, you are not alone. It is sad, very sad.

“Once you have the light believe in the light and you will become a child of light.” In case you don’t know Jesus said that. It’s in the Bible too.
