Walk In The
Light
Here is the message we have heard from him and announce to you.
God is light. There is no darkness in him at all.
Suppose
we say that we share life with God but still walk in the darkness. Then we are
lying. We are not living by the truth. But suppose we walk in the light, just
as he is in the light. Then we share life with one another. And the blood of
Jesus, his Son, makes us pure from all sin.
Suppose
we claim we are without sin. Then we are fooling ourselves. The truth is not in
us. But God is faithful and fair. If we admit that we
have sinned, he will forgive us our sins. He will forgive every wrong thing we
have done. He will make us pure. If we say we have not sinned, we are calling
God a liar. His word has no place in our lives.
1 John 1:5-10
A
buildup of sin in the lives of Christians comes just a little at a time. But
God has provided a way to clear up the accumulation of sins from our lives.
Confess your sins, and you will be cleansed.
Live
your life in the light. The power for living comes from God and not us. When we
try to live the Christian life in our own strength, we fail miserably.
God’s
power can be more easily seen and experienced in our lives when we get rid of
sin’s buildup every day.
Sin drains our spiritual power; confession restores it.
