Walking In Son Light

"Walking In Son Light" "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."(I Jno.1:7) From baptism on the goal of every Christian should be to walk in the light. There are three huge benefits to walking in the light. First of all, if we walk in the light we have fellowship or a relationship with God. Christianity is all about having a relationship with God and God is light so I better walk in the light. Secondly, those who walk in the light have fellowship or relationship with one another. One of the greatest blessings of being a Christian is the fellowship and encouragement we have with our brothers in sisters in Christ. Thirdly, for those who continue to walk in the light the blood of Jesus continues to purify them of their sins. It's easy to see the need and benefits to walking in the light but what about the how to? What does it mean to walk in the light? How are we Christians to do this? Walking in the light is simply following Jesus. It has nothing to do with being perfect, as none us are, but just being faithful to God. Walking in the light is striving daily to be as much like Jesus as possible. It's a beautiful thing to be able to go outside and enjoy a walk in the sunlight. It's far more meaningful, in this life and the next, as Christians to walk daily in the SON light. Chuck Ball
