3. Walking in the Light
1 John 1:5-2:3
• God is light and in him is no darkness at all
• If we have no fellowship with Him while walking in
darkness
• Walk in light we have continual cleansing
• If we deny sin, we are deceived
• Confess our sins, he is faithful
• If we deny our past sins we make a liar of God
• We have an advocate
• Keep his commandments

4. Light vs Darkness
John 8:12

5. Cannot Walk in Darkness
And Maintain a
Relationship with God
1 John 1:6-7
Matthew 6:24, 33
If we Say...
If we Walk...
Does this require
perfect action and
perfect knowledge?

6. Some believe in Yo-Yo Christianity
• If you sin, you are outside
of God. So since I
continue to sin, and
confess/repent, I keep
going back and forth. My
eternal status is based on
when death comes
whether I’m in or out.
• One error in practice will
condemn. Does this mean that
when one obeys the gospel, God
demands perfection in practice
from the very beginning?
• Alex Campbell remained in the
Baptist Church for two years
after he was baptized. He
continued to grow.
• Apollos?

already been
