Walking in the Light

1 John 1:6-10
“If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not do the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.”

“Although In a logical sense, we persist in dividing up the aspect of fellowship into two sides – Godward and manward, they are still constantly intermixed and intermingled because it is a sharing together, it is an interaction of the one upon the other. Fellowship is never mechanical, but always something organic and vital. … To use an illustration: what we are doing is what the musicians do when they analyze a piece of music like a sonata or a symphony. It is right to say it is composed of various parts and you can make an analysis of those parts, but if you are to truly appreciate it, you must always remember it as a whole and must take it as such.”
