1st John 1:6. “If we say we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.”
FALSE FELLOWSHIP: A LIE. A lie is spoken when one deliberately speaks an unsubstantiated word. Hopefully it wouldn’t be from a believer – one with a testimony to tell, Because it doesn’t take long when we have a conversation about God, To know whether a person is really going to heaven or hell.
Many use words to describe their fellowship, it sounds real when we hear it at first, They say they are fine; they know they’re okay and have fellowship with Him; But walking in darkness is a way we know that reveals what he seeks to insist Is not really true; either he’s lost or a believer who is tolerating sin.
Truth is like a light shining in the dark, the source may be hidden, but light is easily seen. That light reveals the path on which our feet walk, it is given to illuminate our way. The true believer may fail or stumble for not one of us is a perfect man, But He turns to the light of truth in His hand, and then ahead, sees the light of new day.
“It is hard sometimes, Father God, to determine whether a person is saved and away from God, or is lost and trying to earn favor with God. But the walk reveals which it is. The true believer is looking for the Sun of Righteousness to arise with healing in His wings. May His coming be near! Even so come Lord Jesus! Amen.”
