Title: Walking In The Light.
Re: 1 John 1:5 – 2:14
Two Contrasting Collectives (the – marks the divider)
Darkness – Light
Not God – God
No Fellowship with Him, lie – Fellowship with Him, truth
Not knowing Him – knowing Him
No Longer Among Us – In Fellowship
No lie of no sin & no confession – confession and forgiveness of sin
lie – keep His commandments
“the world” – those in fellowship
Don’t Just Talk The Talk, but Walk The Walk
cf. 1 John 1:6, 8, 10; 2:4, 9)
“Walk as He walked”
cf. Matthew 11:2-6, John 4:34; 5:17; 13:17

Mark out & don’t be in fellowship with:
- Self righteous religious folks (cf. Matthew 23; Luke 18:9-14)
- Think their doing the work of God (cf. John 16:1-4)
- A zeal for god but Joe based upon knowledge (cf. Romans 10:1-3)
- Profess to be wise but are fools (cf. Romans 1:22)
