1 John 1:7
"If" we walk in the light - this is a sphere of living - the condition of being in the light means we have fellowship with each other and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin ( present tense continuous cleansing - if we were perfect and never sinned why would we need the constant cleansing of the blood of Jesus..selah ).
We are always light in the Lord.
Believers are definitely in the light. The scriptures are clear on this.
Ephesians 5:8 (NASB)
[SUP]8 [/SUP] for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light ( we should be walking out who we are in the light..but it's through Him we do that. )
Colossians 1:12 (NASB)
[SUP]12 [/SUP] giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.
1 Thessalonians 5:5 (NASB)
[SUP]5 [/SUP] for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;
Here Paul is contrasting the believer and the unbeliever. Notice the believer is called "light".
2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV)
[SUP]14 [/SUP] Be ye ( believers ) not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
The understanding of this truth brings "repentance" to us to walk as who we are in the Lord.
