Living in the light of Jesus Christ

1 John 1:5 - 2:11
25 September 2022
Sunday Sermon at the Free Apostolic Church of Pentecost (FACP) Sydney

John has written to the churches about Jesus, whom he touched, heard and saw alive after His passion. "God is light and there is no darkness in Him." John wrote and explained that we also ought to live in the light, loving one another.

When we live in the light, we see clearly our condition and if there is any sin in us, Jesus cleanses us with His blood. If we live in the light of Christ we have fellowship with the other believers.

Many claim that they know God, but we can discern if they are telling the truth by their actions; Are they living a pure life? Do they obey God's commandments? Do they have fellowship with the other believers? Do they love the whole family of Christ? Even more so, we can apply these tests to ourselves to see if we know Him and live in faith.

If we do not obey God's commands or if we do not love one of our brothers then there are shadows in us, we are not in the light.
