Today, I am reading and commenting on  1 John 1-5.

The writer tells us that God is light and that there is no darkness within Him.  Therefore, he says, those who walk in darkness do not have fellowship with Him.  Anyone who walks in darkness and claims to have fellowship with God is a liar, separated from the truth.  What does all of that mean?  Those who walk with God, fellowship with their fellow believers in love.  We cannot harbor hate for others while we walk in God’s light.  If we wish to walk with God, we must love others, and not just in words.  Our love must be expressed by our actions.

There is a lot more to this passage, but I cannot write about it without taking away from what I just wrote.  So, I am going to leave you with this.  If you want to walk with God, you need to not hate others, but love them… and if you want to love others, you need to walk with God.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
