God Is Light, So Walk In The Light

7 But, if our lives are lived in the Light, as God himself is in the Light, we have communion with one another, and the Blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8 If we say that there is no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves, and the Truth has no place in us. 9 If we confess our sins, God may be trusted, in his righteousness, to forgive us our sins and purify us from all wickedness.
