Do you know any “People of the light”? People of the light spread light, joy and stand for truth. They give, care and are there for you when all seems loss. Truth may seem hard but truth gives a open door to God. People of the light are like walking in a garden with beautiful flowers, butterflys and hummingbirds. Staying stuck in sin is like walking through quicksand, dead trees and dead bushes with spiders and flies everywhere hitting you in the face. People of the light will guide you in assisting the sinner to grow in the restoration of fellowship into the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate {Holy Spirit} with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He Himself is the propitiation ( atonement, especially that of Jesus Christ.) for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. These verses encourages and warns Christians about sin. John reassures his readers that when a saved believer sins, Christ will plead our case with God. Jesus is our substitute, taking the punishment for our sins. At the same time, John warns that those who claim to know Christ, yet disobey Him, are lying to themselves and others.
“My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.”
1 John 2:1-6
{Lets Pray}
Father God, I believe I will continue to learn and I believe I will keep Your word in my heart and let the love of God flow out from me to others, how wonderful to know that Christ’s example is one that we can all follow. I long to walk as He walked, in dependence on You… just saying and doing those things that are pleasing in Your sight and to be the light of Jesus in all lives I come in contact with. I need to abide in Christ so that His life may empower me and others to bring forth much fruit, compassion and hope to those who are hurting or just need to know You. Jesus brought the light into this dark world. I want to be a person of the light to the next generation with Your guidance. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
