1 John 1:7 - Forerunner Commentary

1 John 1:7

Fellowship with Him and One Another

5 ^aThis is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that ^bGod is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

6 ^aIf we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

7 But if we ^awalk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^bthe blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we ^aconfess our sins, He is ^bfaithful and just to forgive us our sins and to ^ccleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we ^amake Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

I John 1:5-8

In last week's sermon we spent a great deal of time in I John 1:5-8 in which John sets a hypothetical situation showing that a person who claims to have fellowship with God must be walking in the light. That is the phrase that he used. Light, among other things, symbolizes truth. If a person is to have fellowship with God, that person must be responding to truth.

I John 1:5-8

We are far from that point. We have sin in us. Paul told us we have this law of sin that is embedded in our members. And so if we say that we have overcome all of this, we are lying, we are lying to ourselves. We still have a long way to go.
