Walking in the light helps us have fellowship with one another who are also in the light. Scripture talks about light has no fellowship with darkness. Meaning it just has nothing in common. No common goal with darkness. No common interest with darkness. I don’t love the things darkness loves or the things darkness promotes or where darkness lives.
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.”
1 John 1:7 ESV
When we moved from Indiana to Georgia to start our church, we didn’t want it to be called Something Something Church. We wanted it to be a fellowship of believers so Calvary Christian Fellowship was born in Duluth Georgia. (1987)
The church often is referred to as a building, but it really is much bigger than a building. It was/is our opinion that a fellowship isn’t a place. It is a people.
It is where people of “like loves” gather to worship their God and risen Savior Jesus Christ; where we walk in the light together and support each other on the journey.
We don’t do it perfectly. That’s for sure but it’s much easier not to stumble if you stay in the light than if you walk in darkness and try to find your way. Especially if you try to find your way alone.
Darkness is where things hide. Or where we hide things. Both can be harmful. Kids can be afraid of the dark. Because they don’t know what’s there and it seems like their imagination can become a scary place for things to hide in the darkness.
Having fellowship with other believers is the key to successful “sin management” (for lack of a better word). I think that’s why John included that last sentence on sin. Because when we walk with other believers, we can be called out for our sign and prayed for… if we bring it to light… that is… if we apply light to our dark areas.
Sin likes to hide in the dark.
When we walk in fellowship, we walk in light. Find your tribe and walk in the light with them. Pray for one another that you may be healed, cleansed, and forgiven.
We attend to church, but fellowship is much more than attendance. Walking in the light is much more than sitting in a pew or chair every Sunday morning.
Absolutely go to church, and absolutely walk in the light, but absolutely find your fellowship.
Where are you in fellowship?

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
