This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice 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 Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1john:5-7
I am so grateful that God is light and that there is no darkness in Him. When I come into His presence any shadow in me is exposed and leads me to repentance.
To have fellowship with Him, I first need to be clean and repentance washes me.
I deceive myself if I think I can walk into His presence in filth and stay that way when I walk out. It just does not compute. If I come into the presence of purity, it calls to me to take a bath.
Simple things like self pity make us dirty, a bad attitude will do it every time. Any form of selfishness muddies the water, but oh the joy of repentance, what a shower of grace!
The blood of Christ was shed for my cleansing, the grace that comes with the free gift washes me and all I need to do is walk in truth, know I have need, confess it and receive.
I do not need to go through self mutilation or crawl on my knees, anywhere. How great is our God?
Thank You, thank You Lord! Amen!
