Why the Children of God MUST Search-Out the Darkness

Why must I point these negative things out? Because Christianity believes in a God who is 'all light, with no darkness in him.' Yet this world that he created is MOSTLY darkness.
Yet people 'praise' him non-stop for all the wonderfully bright things he gives us---How will the darkness give him glory if his children don't point it out?

It is only dark because Satan deceived us and it is Satan who causes the darkness. He has many helpers.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Acts 26:18
to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
God gets the Glory when people turn from the darkness'''''God is all light,,,,and yes all that believe should point people out of the darkness, and teach them how to find the light,
satan brings the darkness into our lives,,,,,
People need to know that Jesus defeated satan on the cross,, Jesus gave all of us a way to enter the light,

good little lamb ... just baa at the runaway goats and follow the Good Shepherd (and some of the goats will turn away from the wild outside and follow you back in).
When talking about 'children of God,' I'm NOT talking about 'sheep.' I'm talking about 'good shepherds who leave the 99 good sheep behind to save the 1 which has fallen-in with the goats and their separatist ways.'
And a truth comes to me---you know how atheists call the good sheep 'foolish' because the shepherd leads them to the same slaughterhouse as the sheep he has to run out & catch? Well, they're right. Both Kinds of sheep go to the same place. But the good ones are happy to die for God, and the bad ones aren't. (But neither one gets away from God.)

@mythociate You are right neither will get away from God, and his Judgement...The Good ones will stay with God for eternity, the the others will go to a place where they will always be separate from God.

@dlr297 right, from the individuals' perspectives (God will always be with both; but we Christians are glad he's there, while non-believers aren't)
