Walk in the Light
1st John 1:7
By adhering to the path of righteousness, just as He does, we are granted purification from all transgressions via the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ, His Son. The user's text is empty.The reference is to the biblical verse 1 John 1:7.
It is a significant mistake to confuse the conscious experience of freedom from sin with the complete liberation from sin achieved through the atonement by the Cross of Christ. The true nature of sin remains elusive until one undergoes spiritual rebirth. Jesus Christ confronted sin at Calvary. The proof of my deliverance from sin lies in my profound understanding of its true essence within myself. In order for an individual to truly comprehend the concept of sin, they must undergo the complete process and profound impact of Jesus Christ's atonement, which involves the transmission of His flawless and unblemished perfection.
The Holy Spirit implements or carries out the process of atonement throughout both the subconscious and conscious domains of our being. Only until we fully comprehend the unparalleled potency of the Spirit inside us do we grasp the significance of 1 John 1:7, which states that "...the blood of Jesus Christ His Son purifies us from all wrongdoing." This verse encompasses not just deliberate wrongdoing, but also the remarkably deep comprehension of wrongdoing that can only be achieved by the presence of the Holy Spirit within me.
I am obligated to "emulate His example by living in righteousness" — not relying on my own moral judgment, but seeking guidance from God's divine illumination. If I walk there without any reservations or concealments, I will discover this profound reality: "...the blood of Jesus Christ His Son purifies [me] from all wrongdoing" such that God Almighty finds no fault in me. At the conscious level, it generates a profound and melancholic understanding of the true nature of sin. The divine love within me instills a profound aversion, aligned with the Holy Spirit's abhorrence of wrongdoing, towards anything that deviates from God's absolute purity. Walking in the light entails being drawn closer to the core of illumination by all aspects associated with darkness.
