Walking In The Light

I John 1:7
There is much in this scripture.  “But if we walk in the light.”  Walking in the light is walking in the truth.  V.6 of I John 1:6, states if we say we walk in light but walk in darkness, we lie.  Light is for truth, darkness is for error and sin.  We cannot have fellowship with the faithful unless we walk in truth.  Then, The verse states if we do walk in the light, we have fellowship one with another.”  Those in truth are walking with others in truth for they are in the right way.  Then, those in truth and also in the light, and also have the blood of Christ to cleanse them from all sin.  Jesus died on a cruel cross.  He shed His blood for the remission of our sins – Matthew 26:28.  When a sinner is baptized into Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38) he is also baptized into the death of Christ (Rom. 6:3) Jesus shed His blood in His death.  The blood of Christ washes away our sins.  (Romans 6:3).  Then the Lord adds us to His church – Acts 2:47.  In the Lords’s church we must be faithful to the truth in all ways.  When the church assembles, we need to be there -Hebrewes 10:25.  If we wilfully do not attend, we are not putting the kingdom first (Matthew 6:33).  When Jesus died on the cruel cross at Calvary, did He put us first?  Think about those nails in His hands and feet and decide how much Jesus sacrificed for us.  If we don’t show appreciation for what Chist has done, will He admit us into the pearly gates in heaven some day?  THINK!
