Walking In The Light
Listen on:
Elevate your day is a short daily devotional from Brian and Andi Hale, and can be found at elevateyourday.podbean.com
“If we say we have fellowship with Him and yet keep on walking in the darkness, we are lying and not practicing the truth.”
Abiding in Christ means choosing to walk in His Light, live transparently before Him, and allow His Truth to shape every part of our lives. But sin disrupts this fellowship and creates a distance between us and God.
That is why we need to make confessing our sins to God a regular habit in our lives. Confession is a powerful, freeing practice that keeps our hearts free and aligned with God. It isn’t simply about listing our wrongs and moving forward without any change. It’s about bringing all our sins before Him because we are truly sorry, surrendering fully to His Grace, and walking in humility and obedience.
As we confess, Jesus steps into our brokenness and heals us. He reminds us that His Love and Grace are greater than our failures.
This ongoing process of confession and cleansing is essential to bearing Fruit. Just as a vine requires clean, unhindered pathways to deliver nutrients to its branches, we need to keep the pathway to Christ open. When we confess, we allow the Holy Spirit to flush out all the accumulated dirt. This is where True Fruit is born, not from our own efforts but from a heart fully surrendered to Him.
Abiding in Christ is an act of trust. Even when we fall short, He is Faithful to restore us. Confession isn’t a burden but an invitation to have our guilt removed, to walk more intimately with Jesus, and let His Love work deeply in our hearts.
