Update on I John 1:7
Ken Brown | April 21, 2010
I attended a seminar this past weekend on 1 John. Though I was disappointed by the lack of documentation given for various assertions, there was one little tidbit that was a probable answer to something I have stumbled over for many years. 1 John 1:5 says God is light.
1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
A mere two verses later we read:
1 John 1:7 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.
If God is light, why does it say He is in the light? Our God is the prime deal. He isn’t just within the light shown from somewhere else.
