1Jn 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1Jn 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
God is light.
There is NO darkness in God at all.
When we live in darkness we are living in ignorance.
There is NO blindness with God- He sees all and knows all.
If we say we are living in Christ and then do the works of darkness we are LIARS.
We cannot do the works of darkness and say we are Christ's.
Yes, we are all sinners and sinners who seek to be with Christ, sinners who seek Christ's forgiveness. We need to repent and that repentance means giving up the sin. If we don't give up the sin then we have to repent and seek forgiveness over and over again. We cannot keep sinful things in our lives willingly and not repent of them even if that means repenting constantly. Some will tell you that you can't repent constantly, that you aren't truly seeking forgiveness and repenting if you commit the sin again, but that is Satan trying to lead us into despair. We have to constantly seek the Light and to walk in that Light. We cannot allow ourselves to walk in darkness with no hope of light, we just can't. This isn't a free pass to sin and get by, not at all. God knows our hearts and knows whether or not we are truly repenting. He knows whether or not we truly want Him to lead our lives, to be the LOVE of our lives, HE knows our HEARTS and He alone can give a clean heart.
The blood of our Savior will truly CLEANSE us from ALL SIN.
We can't believe we have no sin, we can't deceive ourselves- NOT if the TRUTH is in us. We must confess our sins, we must realize that OUR LORD is faithful to us and WILL forgive us and HE will CLEANSE us from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS!
If we pretend we have NO sin, then we call our LORD a liar and His truth, His word is NOT in us.
We have to remember always that God is LIGHT, God is LIFE. God will shine HIS TRUTH into our IGNORANCE, so that our IGNORANCE will not kill us.
We need to comprehend the LIGHT of God, the TRUTH because if we don't we will live in darkness and believe me, Satan loves to surround us in his darkness masquerading it as light.
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
If our arch enemy can transform himself into an angel of light we have to seek only the TRUTH and live in that TRUTH of God's so we are NOT deceived!
All through HIS GRACE!
All through HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!
All through HIS LOVE!
