This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
Q. What do you understand by the communion of saints?
A. First, that believers, all and everyone, as members of Christ have communion with him and share in all his treasures and gifts. Second, that everyone is duty-bound to use his gifts readily and cheerfully for the benefit and well-being of the other members.
Heidelberg Catechism Question 55
Acts 2:46
Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts...
And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,
(CSB)
When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Christianity in a nutshell: Jesus didn’t come to tell us about how wonderful we are. He came to tell us about how wonderful God is.
“It is a thing truly happifying to the soul of man to see God.”
Jonathan Edwards
Walking in the light is an honest relationship with Jesus and one another, so that we’re free to grow.
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
