Fellowship

"But if we walk in the light, as he 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)

When we walk with the Lord, we walk in the light. Psalm 104:2 tells us that the Lord covers Himself with light: ‘Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain’. God is light; He is love; He is all, and in all. When we break fellowship with the Father, we walk in darkness, just as the heathen do; we are no longer in His light! We need to see the atrocious effects of sin in our lives, and realize that when we are not in fellowship with the Father, we are in fellowship with Satan, the prince of darkness.

This chapter deals with “fellowship” and not salvation. Many seem to think that if we die with unconfessed sin in our lives, we will not be forgiven for them! What about Calvary? The blood of Christ is sufficient to cleanse us from all sin, past, present, and future, and the promise is secure to all of us in Christ. (v.9). My friends, if you are “In Christ“, and He in you, your sins are gone! Forever gone! Let us be vigilant, and guard the precious gift of the Light that is bestowed us, and not break fellowship with the Father by walking with the devil, nor by walking in his darkness. Thank God for the Light.
