God Is Light
First John 1:5-10
This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
[[ read it aging and aging, do you understand what the Lord is saying?
1. GOD is light.
2. Just calling your self a Christian does not make you a Christian,
3. if you are still walking in the ways of the world (in sin) then you lie.
4. If you are a Christian and have fellowship with Him, you will follow His teachings, His commandments.
5. By excepting the free gift of salvation from the Lord, repenting of are sins, turning from the ways of this world and following after His righteousness; we truly have fellowship with Him.
6. By doing so He will cleanse us from all of our unrighteousness, this has been accomplished through the cross, (the blood of Christ).
7. If you say you have no sin in your life you are a liar, for all have sinned and fallen short of
(( Romans 3:21-27 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. ))
First John 2:1My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
First John 2:3
By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.
one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.
Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.
On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.
First John 2:9-14
The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now.
The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name’s sake.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.
I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
[[ not really that hard to understand just slow down and read it aging, We have all fallen short of the glory of GOD, but by excepting the free gift of salvation from the Lord GOD, Father GOD will see us through the redeeming blood of Christ and He will see us as clean, yes bot out of gratitude for what Christ Jesus has done for us we should follow His teaching, His commandments, and live as He Himself lived, ( only doing the will of His Father ), butting away from us the ways of the world and only following after Him, desiring to fulfill His desires for us. ]]
