“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 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 cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:6-7).
We often hear people talking about “authentic Christianity” as if it is a newly discovered truth! The Apostle John wrote about being honest and real in our living for Christ. He warned us clearly never, never to be living in deliberate willful sin and yet saying that we are having sweet fellowship with the Lord. I have discovered in my personal life and in the personal lives of godly believers, that when we sin, we are so convicted and feel so sorry. Immediately we confess our sin (1 John 1:9) to the Lord and are forgiven. When we walk in the light of His Word, what wonderful fellowship we have with the Lord and with others as well. How is your fellowship doing these days?
For today: May the Lord help us walk in His light and not be living a lie.
