In Ephesians we find that light (religious truth) is described as very powerful as it is able to make dead things living just by shining on them.
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”(Ephesians 5:13-14, ESV)
