7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Key Verse: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7
Message
To walk in the light is to walk in the footsteps of Christ. Wherever the light is, darkness disappears. Light and darkness cannot stay together and that is why darkness cannot overshadow light.
The Bible expresses the fact that if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. The light symbolizes purity, holiness and freedom from sin, while darkness symbolizes sin, impurity and separation. That is why you need not remain in darkness, but come to the light. The character of a child in darkness include doing things that are displeasing to God, like stealing, fighting, lying, disobedience to parents, gossiping etc., while the character of a child in the light entails speaking the truth in love, obedience, gentleness, humility and holy living.

The desire of Christ is that you do not remain in darkness but come to the light. The opportunity has come again, do not delay as delay is dangerous, come to Jesus and you will receive pardon. Then you will shine brightly and those around you will begin to see the light in you and they will testify of it.

Prayer for today: The grace to walk in the light grant unto me oh Lord.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
