| 0:00.0 | The following resource is from Desiring God.org. |
| 0:04.0 | Our script for reading for this evening is the first chapter of 1 John. |
| 0:09.0 | So beginning reading with 1st John 1.1. That which was from the beginning which we have heard, which we have seen |
| 0:18.8 | with our eyes, which we have looked on and have touched with our hands concerning the word of life. |
| 0:26.0 | The life was made manifest and we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal |
| 0:32.2 | life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us. |
| 0:37.0 | That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us. And indeed our fellowship is with the |
| 0:45.8 | father and with his son Jesus Christ. And we're writing these things so that our |
| 0:51.4 | joy may be complete. This is the message which we have heard |
| 0:56.3 | from him and proclaim to you that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him while we |

| 1:32.3 | unrighteousness. If we say that we have not |
| 1:35.2 | sinned we make him a liar and his word is not in us. This message is thematic rather than an exposition of that text. |
| 1:52.0 | But before I pray, let me relate it to the text. |
| 1:57.0 | It's a most remarkable thing that John said in verse 7, if we walk in the light as he is in the light, if we meet that |
| 2:09.5 | condition, then we have fellowship with the father, with the son, and the blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin. |
| 2:20.0 | If we walk in the light, the blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin. That's very strange. Isn't it the cleansing from sin that enables us to walk in the light? |
| 2:40.0 | And if we're walking in the light, what's the sin that we need to be cleansed from? |
| 2:45.0 | Everything I say in the next two weeks is intended to help understand that verse, |
