IBS 1 John 1:5-7

“This then 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. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not 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 Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

Unity with God. Communing with Him. Walking with Him in the light. He has set me apart to be a child of light. He desires for everyone to walk with Him. But for most the darkness is easier to walk in. One compromise leads to another and another. Compromise compromise compromise. In the darkness, you can get what you want, but in the light, you get what you need. Romans 13:12-13 with our armor we repel the enemy and his attacks but it starts with the communion, fellowship, and unity with him. And as we grow closer to him we grow closer to our brothers and sisters. And if everyone is like minded then there should be no fear of dissension. But when we get in the way and slink back in the shadows our sinful ways get in the begin to show. But we are no longer slaves to sin but slaves to righteousness. Living in an environment like this with a group of people like this creates a unity and likemindedness like no other. In the light, we grow, closer to him and closer to each other.

Application

This week I will spend extra time in the morning praying for class 14, the teams and the family as a whole, and I will write family on my arm and be reminded to pray throughout the day.
