1 John 1: Walk in the Light

1 John 1 begins with the Word of life, which the writer and others heard, saw and touched. They announce it so that readers may share fellowship with them and with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ, and so their joy may be full. The message is that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. Those who walk in the light have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin. If we confess our sins, God is faithful and righteous to forgive us.
