The first chapter of 1 John is a passage that all believers need to understand in order to live as God intends. “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5), and therefore we must walk in the light. Walking in the light is different that we might think. Rather than to think that our sin goes away or disappears as believers, walking in the light requires is to allow God’s truth to reveal our sinfulness. By doing so, we then have ongoing fellowship with God AND the blood of Jesus Christ continuously cleansing us from our sinfulness. Walking in the light counters our sinfulness!
