Walking in the Light (2 of 4)
Series: Shine
Joey Rodgers
1 John 1:15-2:2
You likely know there's nothing faster than the speed of light. Light travels at 186,282 mps, or 670,616,629 mph (like me). To give you some perspective on how fast this is - if you could run at this speed, you could circle the earth at the equator 7.5x in 1 sec. By comparison, it'd take a plane traveling at 500 mph over 50 hrs to circle the planet just once. Light!
Last week we launched into a series about God's light w/ us - and what it means to Shine. For the Christian, we're called to shine brighter so that our lives testify to the reality of Christ as we reflect the glory of God.
Let your light shine before others, so they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Biblically - when God speaks of light, He's inviting us to see Him for who He really is, but also to distinguish the difference b/w right/wrong, good/evil, truth/untruth, and what's of God/what's not of God.
For us, to shine for God's glory requires that we believe/receive that Jesus is the light - and that we know Him as our Savior and walk w/ Him as our Lord.
Today, as we continue looking at our calling to shine - I want to take a few min. to discuss what it means to walk in the light. Look w/ me at 1 John 1:5-9.
This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light - and in Him there is no darkness. If we claim to have fellowship w/ Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship w/ one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be w/out sin, we deceive ourselves and His truth is not in us. Yet if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:5-9
