This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we have say we have fellowship with him while we 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 his son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
If we have fellowship with God, it's because we are united with Him in light and therefore cannot walk in darkness.
God is the light. He sent Jesus as the light of the world. Whoever follows Jesus will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.
Life is given in connection to Jesus and it enables us to see and become.
John 12:36 says that while you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.
When we believe in Jesus, we are enabled to SEE light, and to SHINE with the true light of God.
John 1:14 - and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
- The Pharisees failed to see this light;
- Those who crucified Jesus failed to see this light.
When you see the light, life has come into you.
When you see the light, the glory, you become like it.
1 John 2:8-11
The darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. Whoever loves his brother abides in light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling. But whoever 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.
Love is the expression of the light. We become like the light when we believe in the light. The Light (God) is love. We become like the Light by loving others.
