living in the light

This is jammed packed with all kinds of extraordinary truth...

1 John 1
This is the message we heard from Jesus 
and now declare to you: 
God is light, 
and there is no darkness in him 
at all. 
So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God 
but go on living in spiritual darkness; 
we are not practicing the truth. 
But if we are living in the light, 
as God is in the light, 
then we have fellowship with each other, 
and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

If we claim we have no sin, 
we are only fooling ourselves 
and not living in the truth. 
But if we confess our sins to him
he is faithful 
and just 
to forgive us our sins 
and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 
10 If we claim we have not sinned, 
we are calling God a liar 
and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.
