Tag: God is light

The Truth- 1 John 1:6

5 This is the message we heard from Jesus[a] and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. 

6 So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. 

1 John 1: 5-6 (NLT)

God is light; He is faithful and true in Him, there; is no darkness. Jesus is the truth; He is the way, the truth, and the life. Sin separates us from God. However, if we have fellowship with one another and walk in the light, the blood of Jesus washes away the stain of sin.

The LORD is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.

Psalm 145:18 (NLT)

If we know God and want to have fellowship with Him, we need to obey His Word. If we go on living in spiritual darkness, saying that we have fellowship with God, we are lying, not practicing the truth.

May we walk in the spirit of truth; from this day forward.

5 This, in essence, is the message we heard from Christ and are passing on to you: God is light, pure light; there’s not a trace of darkness in him.
6 If we claim that we experience a shared life with him and continue to stumble around in the dark, we’re obviously lying through our teeth – we’re not living what we claim.

1 John 1: 5-6 (MSG)

God delights in the truth. Are you walking in the light, in truth, and fellowship with God?

Prayer; Our Heavenly Father, teach us to walk in the light. Help us to learn Your way and follow Your Word. Guide us away from sin and darkness. Teach us to confess our sins and change our ways. Like the sun lights the rhododendron blossoms, let us walk in Your light and spread Your love. In Jesus’ holy name. Amen

Walk in the Light: 1 John 1:7

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, purifies us from all sin.

1 John 1:7 (NIV)

God is light in Him there is no darkness. To walk in the light is to follow God’s teaching and align our lives with God’s Word. Light is a symbol of purity, holiness, and goodness. Walking in the Light is a progressive and continuing motion along a God-centered path. Christ’s blood purifies us of sin, allowing us to walk in the light and unite together in fellowship and love.

Is your walk in the light a progressive, forward walk?

Prayer: Our Heavenly Father, teach us to persevere and continually move forward, walking in the light. Let your Word guide us, transforming us into children of light, bringing love, and fellowship to those around us. As the drift roses glow with sunlight after rain, teach us to glow and walk in the light dispersing darkness and bringing light to those around us. In Jesus’ loving and holy name. Amen
