Walk Not In Darkness

"If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth."  I John 1:6.  God is light, meaning that He is without sin and imperfection.  Darkness is evil.  They who walk in darkness are children of the evil One.  They do not live righteous lives, not do they seek after the way of God.  If we make a profession of right living, and yet, we live in sin and serve evil, we are liars.  The truth of God calls for holiness and purity.  The doers of sin do not seek after purity and holiness of life.  If we serve sin, we do not the truth of God.  The truth leads one in the way of righteousness.  The truth is God's directive for holy and moral living.    Immoral living is contrary to truth and fellowship with God.  To profess communion with God and walk in darkness is a lie.  Fellowship with God requires that one forsake the way of sin.  Fellowship with God requires that one put on holiness of life.  Our practice must be our profession.  True profession is manifested by proper conduct.  As one walks in the light, he walks in fellowship with God.  The light of God dispels the darkness. The light of God brings holiness and purity of life.  Walking in light is walking with God.
