God is Light, Walk in the Light - 1 John

The presence of light serves both to reveal and to guide. Light reveals what is true and real, and in doing so, provides direction in how we are to respond to and live in relationship to what is revealed. Light both exposes danger and guides the way to safety. John begins his first letter with the message that God is light, a truth revealed to him by the embodiment of that light in Jesus Christ, God's Son. Only in relationship to God through Christ, can we see and understand what is true and can we live in a manner that shows we truly are being guided by the light of that truth. In 1 John 1:5-10 we'll consider the truth that God is light and what it means for us to walk in the light.
