Walking in the Light

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 cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7. The Apostle John, the author of this book, walked with Jesus talked with Jesus and was a student of Jesus. John knew that Jesus always knew what He was doing, and where He was going. Jesus walked in the light… even at night. Those who had fellowship and worked with Him, were also walking in the light, because they were where He was and involved in what He was doing. In verse 5 the apostle John declares, “God is light.” God is never confused about anything. He knows exactly what He's doing and where He's going. And God is working in this world. Light is the absence of darkness. We can’t create darkness, we can only add light. So darkness is the absence of light, cold is the absence of heat and evil is the absence of good. John stated in verse 6, “if we say we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie.” What John said is really not complicated. I say I work for URS Corporation, but if I never go to work, never turn in a time sheet, no one at the company has ever seen me, and I’m not on their payroll or have drawn a paycheck… it is clear that I’m not telling the truth, I really don"t work for them. If someone says they are walking with God, but they aren't involved in what He's doing, their name is not on His work rolls, there is no fruit in their life then they are not telling the truth, they are not walking with God. To walk with God all you must do is get involved in what He’s doing on His terms on this earth. I had a Pastor friend once give me some very valuable advice he said "Look and see where God is working and go there and get involved with Him…" it’s where the light is...
