MISCONCEPTION 1: SIN AND FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD
1 John 1:5-7
1 John 1:5-7
1. The factual message: 1 John 1:5
2. What is fellowship with God? 1 John 1:6
Fellowship – Koinonia: association, community, intimacy
Fellowship – Koinonia: association, community, intimacy
3. The BIG Question: Can a person have fellowship with God even while they walk in darkness and sin?
4. The contextual contrast:
Walk in darkness: 1 John 1:6
Darkness is Satan’s kingdom: Rev. 16:10; John 3:19-20
Darkness is Satan’s kingdom: Rev. 16:10; John 3:19-20
B. Walk in light: 1 John 1:7
Light is God’s Kingdom:
Col. 1:13; 2 Cor. 4:4-6; 1 Thess. 5:5; 2 Cor. 6:14; 1 Peter 2:9
Light is God’s Kingdom:
Col. 1:13; 2 Cor. 4:4-6; 1 Thess. 5:5; 2 Cor. 6:14; 1 Peter 2:9
5. The key to this truth – “If we say”: 1 John 1:6
A. The problem – it’s a lie!
B. If our mouth confession is one thing, but our heart expression is another – there is obviously a glaring contrast.

6. The greatest trick of Satan is a half-truth gospel: 1 John 1:6; Rom. 10:9-10
7. 1 John 1:7 is conditional to the Kingdom of Light:
A. For the child of God there is continual genetic identity and cleansing by the blood: 1 John 1:7
B. As we are children of the Kingdom of Light, the blood of Jesus is constantly operative in our lives – (The Blood never loses its Power) – thus:
* The blood of Jesus has cleansed us from sin
* The blood of Jesus is cleansing us from sin
* The blood of Jesus will cleanse us from sin
* The blood of Jesus has cleansed us from sin
* The blood of Jesus is cleansing us from sin
* The blood of Jesus will cleanse us from sin
8. As we walk in the Kingdom of Light we have fellowship with:
A. Christ
B. God
C. Other Believers: 1 John 1:7
A. Christ
B. God
C. Other Believers: 1 John 1:7
9. The BIG Question then is: What happens when a believer sins (and we do):
Sins of omission?
Sins of commission?
Sins of omission?
Sins of commission?
Bottom Line: Come back next week and find out!
