“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) .
The prior verse confirms: our walk and talk with God must match. We can’t ride the fence. If we think we can have fellowship with Him and dabble in darkness, the “truth is not in us.” Today’s verse tells if we are living in the light of God’s presence, just like His Son does, we are going to have sweet fellowship with one another. We will never be sinless, but walking in step with Christ, will help us to sin less. The Spirit will convict us to repent and have fellowship restored. First John 1:9 was not written for sinners but for believers—those who desire to walk in His light.
