God Is Light, So Walk In The Light

5 Here is the message we learned from him and announce to you: 'God is light and in him there is no darkness, none.' 6 If we say, 'We have fellowship with him,' when we live and move in darkness, then we are lying, we are not practising the truth; 7 but if we live and move within the light, as he is within the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.
