Series: 1 John

1 John 1:6-10
6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. - 1 John 1:6-10 (ESV)
Again, verse. 7... But if we walk in the light
These past couple weeks, we have found out as we dug into 1 John 1:1-10, that there are certain things that we really do have to be aware of and comply with, IF we truly want to enjoy the fellowship, or our walk with Jesus, as God intended.
And as we've already seen, it all starts first with God being PRIORITY...GOD being FIRST...Jesus NUMBER 1...Our walk starts with God, NOT us...
and then next we have to understand that God's Nature is HOLY, and we need to remember that we're NOT,
but we've also got to understand the good news, that Jesus, though His redeeming work, and then His indwelling us, solved the sin problem, and makes our fellowship with God not just a possibility, but a REALITY...that's why we CAN have fellowship with God...Jesus paid the price and makes us Righteous IN HIM before God.
Last week too, we saw that John laid out some serious contrasts in verses 6, 8, and 10 where he used the ''if...then'' argument...
He said...IF we say we have fellowship but walk in darkness...THEN we lie...
IF we say we have not sin...THEN we deceive ourselves...
IF we say we have not sinned...THEN God's Word is NOT in us.
And the good news again...
IF we confess our sins...THEN God forgives and cleanses us.
So simply put, John is saying that if we are ...
