in the light

“If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship
with one another…” I John 1:7
It’s not possible for a believer to walk in the light and not have any
fellowship with his brothers and sisters. It is strange for someone
who belongs to the family never to meet anyone else in the family.
It’s strange , but very common.
If all born-again believers would go to the church we would have
an amazing revival around the world.
Many don’t come. For various reasons they have chosen to believe
privately without any association with an organized religion.
Walking in the light speaks about convictions.
They don’t appear in a believer’s life automatically.
We need to learn convictions. We need to be strengthened
in them continually.
Our convictions are revealed in new, unexpected situations.
They are tested in times of uninhibited conflicts.
When you press a toothpaste tube, that what is inside comes out.
We function the same way.
A conviction is different from simply obeying the letter of the law.
It’s a strong, personal belief about something.
We don’t agree with everything.
We go the the church, not because we always like everything about it.
We go because we have a conviction about it.
We love and respect ourselves. Therefore we have convictions.
If nobody knows what our convictions are,
we are most probably not walking in the light.
