Walking in the Light
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5
You cannot and will not continue living a life full of sinfulness if you have Jesus. However, you will sin unintentionally on occasion, but God is forgiving, and if you confess, He is faithful to forgive you.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and justto forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9
Did you know that God didn’t create the sun and moon until the fourth day, but created light on the first day? Where is our light coming from if it’s not coming from the sun? This light is not the light emitted by God because He created it, and He is not a created being, even though He is light. I want to know where that light is coming from. That’s a glimpse into how my mind works. However, in 1 John 1, I believe that John is referring to God’s sinlessness as light because there is no darkness in Him at all. We are to strive to be like Jesus, full of light, knowing that it is impossible, but we should try anyway because Jesus cleanses us and forgives us of our sins if we trust in him.
