1 John 1:7 “…if we say, we are partakers together and enjoy Fellowship with Him when we live and move and are walking about in darkness, we are both speaking falsely and do not live and practice the Truth which the gospel presents”. But…if we’re really living and walking in the Light…we’ll have unbroken Fellowship with each other, and His blood takes away our sin and guilt. Are we walking in the Light…in the Light where there is no darkness? What does that really mean?

We can’t say we love God, we can’t say we enjoy His presence, and be out of Fellowship with one another… we can’t be unrepentant, practicing intentional sin and say we love God. Walking in the Light is a choice we make, it’s not just words, surrender and a confession of faith, acknowledging Who Jesus is and what He’s done is needed to receive His Grace. It’s a choice to be a follower of Christ, to love what’s good and right, it’s following the direction of the Holy Spirit and recognizing the power given to us to walk in His plan and purpose. We live, we grow, we prosper in the Light. There is a culture that surfaced in the first century church. Fueled by the darkness, it continues to live and breathe today.

Search our hearts for anything that doesn’t belong to You, convict us of our offenses that we might repent, be cleansed of sin…. Let our confession of faith not be just words, let our love for each other and being in right standing with You be ou
