"Walking In The Light Of Jesus"

(1 John 1:5-9)

(1 John 1:5-9 NIrV)  Here is the message we have heard from him and announce to you. God is light. There is no darkness in him at all.  (6)  Suppose we say that we share life with God but still walk in the darkness. Then we are lying. We are not living by the truth.  (7)  But suppose we walk in the light, just as he is in the light. Then we share life with one another. And the blood of Jesus, his Son, makes us pure from all sin.  (8)  Suppose we claim we are without sin. Then we are fooling ourselves. The truth is not in us.  (9)  But God is faithful and fair. If we admit that we have sinned, he will forgive us our sins. He will forgive every wrong thing we have done. He will make us pure.

Responsive reading:

(John 1:1-7 NIrV)  In the beginning, the Word was already there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.  (2)  He was with God in the beginning.  (3)  All things were made through him. Nothing that has been made was made without him.  (4)  Life was in him, and that life was the light for all people.  (5)  The light shines in the darkness. But the darkness has not understood it.  (6)  A man came who was sent from God. His name was John.  (7)  He came to give witness about that light. He gave witness so that all people could believe.
