(1 John 1:6 NKJV) If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
This scripture is very simple and to the point, isn’t it? But it makes a very strong point indeed!
If we want to know where we are at with Christ, or if we are even with Him, we just need to watch and listen to our actions throughout the day and we will know.
This verse tells it like it is, just very straight forward. It’s all in our walk, and how we move. We can tell if we are being deceived or not, by just paying attention to the details.
Let’s face it… no one wants to find out that they are walking out a lie. It takes courage to want to know the truth. It takes humility to really look and watch, knowing that there may possibly be a huge change they need to make.
Many years ago, I knew someone that was walking in a lie. It was very hard when the truth hit, for they thought they were doing everything right. Oh how painful it was to realize that all they were taught, all that they did, was not what they thought it was.
Thoughts of discouragement, disappointment, anger, and giving up all flooded their mind and heart when they found out the truth.
We are a funny people aren’t we? You’d think in finding the truth we would feel the opposite, but this is not always the case!!
They had to make a very big decision; would they pick themselves up and move forward? Or would they say “forget it, it’s too much and I don’t want to start over”?
I am happy to say today they chose the harder road, the road that followed the truth. They didn’t give up and they now live a life of Victory, walking in truth!
They made the right decision in spite of the work that would be involved in retraining and teaching and getting it right.
Today their fellowship is with HIM!! They walk in the Truth and it was all worth it!
Amen.
