1 John 1:5-10 Walking In The Light
Description
1 John 1:5-10 (Paraphase by Lee Sommitz)
5 Thus inspired by God, we write this letter. God is perfectly pure Light. There is no darkness in His Being. 6 If anyone tells you that they have fellowship with God but refuse to walk next to Him in His light, they are liars who speak about, but don’t practice truth. 7 Everyone who walks hand in hand with Him in His light is not only in genuine fellowship with Him, but is getting cleansed from all manner f sin by His blood. 8 If anyone tells you that they don’t have any sin to be cleansed from, they have deceived themselves and lost touch with truth. 9 Everyone who is in agreement with what God says about sin will benefit from His absolute pardon and continue being cleansed from sin as long as they continue agreeing with Him. God is just in conferring that benefit and will never fail to do so. 10 If a person tells you that they have not sinned, they are calling God a liar. These are people whodo not take Him or His word seriously.
Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other Village leaders open the Scriptures as the witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our lives. Scripture gives us more than abstract ideas. It is the Word of God, given to form us, confront us, comfort us, and teach us how to follow Jesus.
Each episode invites us to listen and respond. We are learning to understand the Bible more faithfully; we are also learning how to live as God’s renewed people.
Week by week, our pastors and leaders talk about the practices of Christian discipleship, including prayer, fasting, generosity, Scripture memory, worship, and life together. These practices belong to a whole life formed around Jesus.
The podcast also speaks to ordinary places where faith is lived; our relationships, finances, habits, struggles, joys, and decisions. The gospel speaks to what we believe. It also teaches us how to live in the present age as people who belong to the kingdom of God.
