The Bible says, “But if we walk in the light, as HE [GOD] is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ, HIS son, cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
I’m talking to somebody out there who knows you are in total darkness; but you are seeking a way out. Well, Jesus is your ticket out of the dark, so please read on. Don’t listen to the ugly voices in your head telling you to give up. Those same voices are from the dEVIL and his demonic angels. Quickly, turn to the Lord Jesus for guidance and help – right now!
BRING IT DOWN ON HOME:
It does not matter what Constance says, because we have greater witnesses of the Truth – the inspired Men of God! In the First Book of John 1:1-10, we have words from Apostle John who not only saw Jesus but John touched the Lord, walked with Him, slept by His side, ate at His table, witnessed many, many miracles, watch Him die on the cross, spoke with the LORD after His resurrection, and saw Him taken up in a cloud to Heaven!
Thus, pay close attention to what John has to say.
(1) “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.” (1 John 1:3) We know that the Incarnation of Jesus Christ makes it possible for all believers to have fellowship (through the blood of JESUS) with His FATHER, GOD and with the HOLY SPIRIT guiding us. The TRIUNE GOD is ONE – The FATHER, SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT!
(2) “This is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that GOD is light, and in HIM is no darkness at all.” (1 John 1:3) There are no hidden agendas in God! When we say GOD we include JESUS as well. JESUS is light to a fallen world and that light shines in darkness!
If you walk into a dark room (especially at night), the first thing you do is to turn on the light! Why? You need to see where your are walking. You can injure yourself very badly walking into a dark room, or hit your toe against something hard, or you could break your neck!
(3) “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (1 John 1:8) Unlike the fellowship ordained by the Lord GOD, sin exists in the World and there are many, many hidden agendas in the World – especially between humans –
(a) in the home (bad vibes/bad words between husbands/wives, boyfriends/girlfriends, mothers/daughters, fathers/sons, brothers/sisters, brothers/brothers, sisters/sisters, in-laws/in-laws);
(b) at work (cut throats, employees lying on one another, supervisors proposing ideas that aren’t theirs, competition for internal promotions, and others scratching or keying co-workers’ cars in the parking lot);
(c) on the highways you’ll see drivers (including truck drivers and school bus drivers, dump truck drivers) cutting in front of others, lane swapping, bad drivers causing others to serve into traffic or off the road into ditches, and some drivers provoke others by flipping “the bird” or making other gestures;
(d) even worse, there is devout competition and cut throats among church members as the Deacon board don’t agree with the Pastor, the choir director don’t like choir members (vice versa), older saints refuse to accept new ideas for church growth, and the younger generation want fast turn around in faith as they don’t want to wait on the Lord!
(4) “If we confess our sins, HE [GOD] is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.” (1 John 1:8-10) [By the way Goggle and listen to the live performance by Ron Kenoly, “If You Confess the Lord Call Him Up.” I want you to get up and dance throughout your residence as you call on the LORD JESUS CHRIST! Trust me, the Lord will come to your rescue!]
Literally, many of us have torn out certain pages from the Bible because we feel Biblical truths are irrelevant. We refuse to accept Theocratic Authority over our lives because we exercise free-will to the maximum. We don’t want GOD (or the preacher man/woman) telling us that we are sinners. If we don’t know the golden rules, we are guilt-free. Certainly, we don’t want to own-up to errors. BUT, we are still going to stand before the White Throne of God during the judgment! What are you gonna say to GOD?
We question what is a mistake based upon our definition of mistake. We adopt the motto, “If it feels good, then, do it!” However, we do not stop to consider consequences such as our health and the health of others, deceitfulness, unfaithfulness, and other morale issues.
What is the solution? God’s ways are not our ways! “But if we walk in the light, as HE [GOD] is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ, HIS son, cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
Have a Blessed Day!
