🔸️ We must walk with honesty in the light! 🔸️
"If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another" (1John 1:7).
The first qualification required to walk in the Light is not hiding anything from God!! That is, we must convey everything to Him, as it is! I have find it categorically that honesty is the first step for walking towards God. God abhors those who speak false. We need to know that Jesus rebuked the hypocrites more than anyone else.
God did not ask us to be holy or perfect at first. But firstly, He asks us to be honest!
This is the beginning of true holiness. Everything else could come only from this fountain. If there's one thing that we all can do very easily is, to be honest!
Therefore, we must confess any sin to God immediately. Let's not use polished stylish words for sinful thoughts.
After getting the lust of prostitution really through our eyes, let's not say, "I only admired the beauty of God's creation." Likewise, don’t call anger as “reasonable anger”!
If we are thus dishonest, we would never be victorious over sin!! So, never call sin as “wrong”. Because Jesus' blood can wash away only our 'sins' and not our 'mistakes'! Yes, He never cleanses dishonest people. "Those who refuse to confess their sins will not prosper," (Proverbs 28:13). So only honest people have faith in the Gospel!
Prayer:
Our loving Father! Even though there are many flaws in us, give us the grace to keep them in the 'light' without hiding them; give us the grace to confess honestly to you and to grow in the holiness! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
