John 1:5-7
God
is Light
1Jn
1:5
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.
1Jn
1:6
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and
do not the truth:
1Jn
1:7
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.
- God is Light and Has Nothing to Do with Darkness. –
vs. 5
- John uses a double negative to emphasize the
reality that God has nothing to do with evil in any way.

Psalm 27:1
ii.
Romans 8:1-11
iii.
James 2:18-20
- If Someone Claims to Walk with God but Walks in
Darkness He is a Liar. – vs. 6
- John is not talking about the Christian that is free
in Christ yet still struggles with his old nature (He deals with that in
the next passage). Instead, John is speaking about a fraud, someone that
claims to be of God but yet is living in sin and is not cleansed by the
blood of Christ.

1 John 2:1-6
ii.
Psalm 5:1-6
- The Blood of Jesus Christ Frees us to Walk in the
Light. – vs. 7
- This statement is true no matter the order. Those
that walk in light and love others are cleansed by the blood of Christ
and those that are cleansed walk in light.
i.
Psalm 56:10-13
