I John 1

The apostle John testifies to the Word of life, which he and others heard, saw with their eyes, and touched with their hands. This life was revealed through the person of Jesus Christ, and John proclaims it so that others may share in fellowship with him, with the Father, and with the Son. He announces that God is light, and there is no darkness in Him. Anyone who claims to know God but walks in darkness is not living truthfully. Yet, if people walk in the light as God is in the light, they experience true fellowship and are cleansed by the blood of Jesus. John warns that denying sin is self-deception, but assures that if sins are confessed, God is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse from all unrighteousness.

As Christians, our relationship with God must be rooted in truth and light. We cannot claim to walk with Him while living in darkness. Instead, we must strive to live purely and faithfully, allowing the light of Christ to guide our actions and decisions. When we fail, we must not hide or deny our sin. God invites us to confess confidently, knowing He is faithful to forgive and purify us. Our fellowship with one another also grows stronger as we walk in the light together. We must live with integrity, seek accountability, and pursue holiness. Let us remain aware of our need for grace and continue walking in the light that leads to deeper fellowship and lasting joy.

Benevolent Father, thank You for revealing the Word of life through Your Son and for inviting us into fellowship with You. Help us walk in the light as You are, living with honesty, humility, and love. Forgive us when we fall short and try to hide our sins. Give us the courage to confess freely, trusting in Your faithfulness and justice to cleanse us. Strengthen our fellowship with one another as we pursue truth together. Let Your light shine through us, that we may reflect Your character and draw others into Your grace and truth through our lives.

Thought Questions:

Why is John a reliable witness to the godhood and worthiness of Jesus? What does it mean to be in fellowship with John and the apostles?

What does it mean to “walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light”? How do you intentionally engage that commitment daily?

Will the blood of Jesus cover you if you do not admit and confess sin? How do you communicate your guilt to God as you seek mercy?
