Genesis 1:3-4 NIV

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

Things always look different in the light!

1 John 1:5-6 NLT

This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God
but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth.

3 Lies We Need To Drag Into The Light:

I’m good enough!

1 John 1:8-9 NLT

If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

God can’t forgive me!

1 John 2:1-2 NLT

My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.

I can live however I want!

1 John 2:3-6 NLT

And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.
