This is the
message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and
in Him is no darkness at all. If we say
that we have fellowship with Him, and 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 Christ His Son cleanses us
from all sin. - 1 John 1:5-7
God is light. Sin is darkness. The two are mutually
exclusive. Where light is darkness is dispelled. It is the very nature of light
and darkness.
If we say that we are in
fellowship with God and our daily walk is a walk in darkness God says that our
lives are lies and we do not practice the truth. We must reflect His light in our lives.
It is impossible for us to
being in the light and be in the darkness at the same time. Even the tiniest
bit of light dispels darkness to some extent.
Obviously, John is not
waying that anyone who is in the light will not sin – that comes next. What he
is talking about here is a walk, a lifestyle. Those who live in light cannot
live in darkness, There may be dark days and dark places, but he cannot live
his life in the darkness of sin.
We are reminded to walk in
the light and to live in the light and to shine as lights and to let our light
shine before men the darker the world the more important it is that we shine
our light.
We simply can’t join in the
darkness.
