'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).
Walking in the light helps us to see clearly the way God sees things and to share His values. We will seek to live under the controlling desire for God instead of the world. You see, once we were in darkness, walking in the ways of the world. But Jesus called us out of that darkness of sin and death, into His marvellous light. In accepting Jesus as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, we place our faith in Him and His victory over sin and death at the cross; thereby been granted access to the throne room of God's grace. We are told to 'walk in the light,' the light of God's truth - His living Word which testify of Christ, the light of the world. When we walk in the light it brings our life into alignment with the Word of God. It brings a condition of fellowship not only with God but with other believers. It's also a cleansing from our sin by the blood of Jesus. It is important for us to be desirous of abiding in Christ and walking in His love, because we will continue to experience His saving grace, made possible by His shed blood as an atonement for our sin; and fellowship with God. The more time we spend with Jesus, the more like Him we become. We are transformed into His likeness as we continue to walk in the light of His truth and His righteousness. Christ wants us to walk in the light as He is in the light. That is, living in accordance with His perfect life and character, so we might be like Him and enjoy sweet fellowship with our heavenly Father and with each other. Choose today, to walk and to continue to walk in the light as Jesus is in the light, and to have a desire to have a more intimate fellowship with Him.
Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...
