God is Light: 1st John 1:5-10

https://youtu.be/eR7ABqxPcgk Verse 5: God is Light 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him.

The Lie of Darkness: 1st John 1:6

Verse 6: The Lie 6 If we say, “We have fellowship with him,” and yet we walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth. This verse is the first of three antithetical statements (v.6;v.8; v.10) to verse five’s claim that “God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him”; …
