Walk in the Light 1 John 1:7 · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  I'm thinking today of 1 John 1, 7. It says, But
• 0:05
  if we walk in the light as he himself is in the
• 0:08
  light, we have fellowship with one another, and
• 0:10
  the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses
• 0:13
  us from all sin. We are cleansed by the blood
• 0:16
  of Jesus. If indeed we walk in the light, which
• 0:20
  is what God desires from us, let's be honest
• 0:22
  about who we are. There's no covering up shameful
• 0:25
  things or hiding secret sins. Walk in the light.
• 0:29
  Be honest about who you are. Trust in the Lord
• 0:31
  Jesus Christ. Trust in him to provide the salvation
• 0:34
  that is necessary. At the same time, let us do
• 0:37
  deeds that are fit for the light. Let's do what
• 0:40
  we know to be right. Let's walk in strength and
• 0:42
  glorify God. It's interesting that it's about
• 0:45
  walking, and that's what God has called us to.
• 0:48
  When we walk like that, we'll find others who
• 0:50
  want to walk like that as well, even though we
• 0:52
  do make mistakes each individually and even corporately.
• 0:55
  Walking in the light means you'll find others
• 0:57
  who want to walk in the light. This is a little
• 0:59
  bit of what New Heights is about. We have fellowship
• 1:01
  with one another. And the blood of Jesus, it
• 1:04
  is the blood of Jesus. Let me say again, the
• 1:07
  blood of Jesus, God's son, that cleanses us from
• 1:10
  all sin. It's not your good works. It's not your
• 1:12
  best intentions. It's not your entreaties or
• 1:15
  your prayers or anything else. It is simply the
• 1:19
  good work, the good work, the good complete work
• 1:22
  of Jesus. God the Son, Jesus Christ, who died
• 1:24
  on the cross for sins. Perhaps you could introduce
• 1:27
  someone else to that concept.
