Living in the Light

Jeremiah 48-49; Psalms 67; 1 John 1 

“If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by 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, purifies us from all sin.”

1 John 1:6, 7

In an age when truth is being questioned and leaders walk in darkness while claiming to be full of light, the invitation of Jesus is to a better way. Instead of deception, covering, and fear, Jesus invites us into his light. ‘…God is light; in him there is no darkness at all’ (1 John 1:5).  We come into the light through confession of sin and humility. We acknowledge our sin and what God already sees. In the repentance and sorrow of acknowledging our sin, we experience God’s grace and forgiveness which frees us to walk with God and others. Repentance is not only a one time action, but also a path we walk on and live each day. If we value the light, and living with God in that light, we will value truth, repentance, and humility. Many are choosing to live in the shadows, but it’s better in the light!

“Lord Jesus, I humble myself before you and choose to live with you in the light, for your glory.”
