being in "love"

God’s love is greater than our transgressions, stronger than the grave; and awakens us to live with purpose and passion.

Yes, darkness is the absence of light, and the life we awaken to is the presence of light, the glorious presence of light, of love, of God.

Ephesians 2:4-4 "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)"
