“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:19)
The nature of a common household pest, the German Roach, is to hide in dark, obscure places such as behind kitchen drawers, in the area up under the counter top. They love darkness. If you pull out a kitchen drawer and shine a light in that dark area, if there are German Roaches present, you will see them scurry away looking for another dark place to hide. It is their nature to love darkness and hate light.
It is the nature of mankind without Christ Jesus to love darkness rather than light. They can’t stand the search light of God’s Word to be directed toward them. The light of Jesus or the reflected light of a Christian is more than they can stand.
Man without Christ is under the condemnation of the Word of God, the Law of God and the Holy Spirit until he allows Christ to come in and change his nature from a lover of darkness to a lover of light.
