1 John 1:5–10 ESV

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.

Walking in the Light (V.5-7)

When John is saying that God is the light, he is showing that God is one who reveals. Darkness is used to describe evil or sin. If you are living a life of darkness you are not walking with God. To walk in darkness means you are trying to hide from the light which is good. It is seen in this passage that a Christian who claims to fellowship with God but who is disobeying him (Walking in darkness) is a liar.

I do not know everyone in this room. To be honest, I don’t have the ability to see the ways that you interact with one another. How you talk, how you treat others, or even how you think. There is a reason that I read God’s word everyday, that is so that God may reaveal to me where my sin is.
