Bible Snack #6

“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” (1 John 1:6).
 
Notice it says, “Practice the truth.” Therefore, we can also say “Practice lies.” Revelation 22:15 says, “But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.”
 
The list of destruction is heavy and yet it includes “Practices a lie.” It’s the lies we believe that puts us in this list. We think everything we believe is the truth or else we wouldn’t believe it. God has plainly broadcast His thoughts and His laws. (Yes, we have laws in the New Testament such as the law of love and the law of faith.) When we don’t take the time to compare our beliefs with the Word of God and therefore change our beliefs to align with His, then we are walking in darkness, even though we may think we are in the light.
