Walk in the Light, 1 John 1:5-10 - Sermon manuscript PDF

$5.00

Counterfeit faith is eternally dangerous because it can look genuine while leaving a person in darkness, deception, and destruction. In 1 John 1:5-10, the apostle John writes with pastoral urgency to help believers discern the difference between empty profession and true fellowship with God. Because God is light and in Him is no darkness at all, those who know Him must be transformed by His truth, brought into fellowship with the saints, and led into honest confession of sin.
