“God is light. In Him there is no darkness at all. This is the verdict: Light came into the world, but men love darkness because their deeds are evil. They walk in darkness and refuse to come into the light for fear that their deeds will be revealed as sin. Whoever lives by the truth \u2014 by the One who is the Word and the Word of life \u2014 comes into the light so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we walk in the light, Jesus’ blood purifies us from all sin. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.<\/p>\n
\u201dBut if we claim we have not sinned, we make God out to be a liar and His word has no place in our lives. Jesus tells us to pray like this: \u2018Forgive us our sins and lead us not into temptation.\u2019 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves. If we claim to be without sin, God\u2019s truth is not in us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe light of man is good, true, and holy. The darkness of men is evil and false (John 3:19-21). This is how we know those who walk in the light: God\u2019s truth and His word is in them.<\/p>\n
