Theme: “Living in the light”
Text: 1 John 1:5-7
5. The news which we have heard from him, and which we declare to you, is that God is light, and in him is no darkness. 6. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practice the truth. 7. But if we walk in the light, as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Let's remember:
It is when we maintain communion with God that we can claim to live in the light. If by extraordinary means we break this communion, we switch to the dark side of life, the lying and pagan side. Being in communion with God cannot be decreed; rather, it is a way of life that involves treating one's body harshly and keeping it subjugated for fear of being cast away at the last day. Living in the light consists of maintaining good communion but also good communication with God. Good communion requires a manifestation of love for the Word of God in order to put it into practice. We cannot say we love God if we live far from His Word. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we are lying, and we are not practicing the truth. Thus, every inappropriate gesture before God only breaks our communion with Him. When communion is broken, our light ceases to shine. Let us take care to bring back communion with God without waiting long. There is no darkness in God. In turn, let us not have within ourselves alternating attitudes between darkness and light like a flash that goes on and off. Let us not practice spiritual unloading. Let us be enlightened by the Word of God, let us keep our communion with God in order to live in the light. Excellent Sunday. Amen
