As we walk the path of daily life in this 21st century, and compare it to the word of life, we discern whether or not we are walking in the light according to the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 NASB

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

In the book of John, chapter 17, we have a wondrous opportunity to witness Jesus praying to the Father on behalf of the men He gave Him out of the world. Of them, He said, ‘they have kept Your word.’ Jesus not only spoke on their behalf, but also for those who will believe in Him through their word. Those men not only encountered the Son of God, they walked with Him! And, in order to make their joy complete, what they saw & heard they proclaim to us.

1 John 1 NASB

What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life — and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us — what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.

This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
