· The Nominal Christian (Acts 20:29-30) · The “Real Deal” · Review of 1 John 1:1-4
I. The Message (v. 5):
A. God is Light (Psalm 36:9)
· Manifested in the Flesh Jesus Christ (John 8:12) · Exposes Sin (John 3:19-20)
B. There is No Darkness In God at All
· Cannot Lie (Numbers 23:19; Titus 1:2; Hebrews 6:18)
II. The Implications of the Message (vs. 6-10)
A. Those Who Do Not Have Fellowship with God (vs. 6, 8, 10)
· Walk in Darkness (vs. 6; Amos 3:3; Psalm 5:4; John 3:19-20) · Deny that being a Sinner – Self-Deceived (v. 8; Prov. 16:14; 2 Peter 2:13) · Deny Sinning – Calls God a Liar (v. 10; Romans 3:9ff, 23)
B. Those who Have Fellowship with God (vs. 7, 9)
· Walk in the Light as God is in the Light (v. 7) · Confess their Sin – Forgiven of their Sin & Cleansed from all Unrighteousness
Conclusion and Application
· Who Can so Exhibit the Light as it is Required? · Are you a Pretender Christian, or the “Real Deal”? True Fellowship with God Only in Union with Christ
