WALK IN THE LIGHT!

1 John 1:6 – Devotional

1 John 1:6

“If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.”

I have a great fear that we have given people the wrong message concerning salvation. We have propounded the idea that you are able to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and go on living a godless lifestyle. That is totally wrong. I find none of that thinking in Scripture. In fact it is just the opposite. Today’s passage is just one of many that indicate our walk must match our talk.

Jesus consistently told those who had been set free from sin and disease to turn away from it and begin to walk a different walk. Now if Jesus said that to people in His day, it still applies today. It seems that somewhere along the line, we have adopted the notion that we can live like the devil and still be a child of the King. BEEP! WRONG!

Can you recall when you prayed to ask the Lord to forgive your sins and come into your life? It is essential that we have walked in the light of God’s Word and have personally invited Jesus to come into our heart. The exact words are not essential, but the sincerity of the invitation is critical! As we walk in the light of God’s Word our fellowship with true believers will grow sweeter as the days go by!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
