False Claim: You can have fellowship with

God while walking in darkness.

Why is this a false claim? Because darkness cannot be in fellowship with light and remain in darkness.

Reasons We Believe The False Claim

1) We lie – to God, ourselves and each other.

2) We refuse to practice and live by God’s truth.

another.

It means that as Christ followers we will allow our common union

around Christ’s Gospel to supersede our petty differences.

Let the Spirit shine God’s light into your life.

Ask God to help you really believe that you cannot be in fellowship with God and walk in darkness.
