I John 1:7 NKJV ¡°But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.¡±
John 1:4-5 AMP ¡°In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it].¡±
People think light comes from the sun and stars. But those are creations. Light proceeds from God. Our God is a consuming fire. (Heb. 12:29) In order to walk with the Lord, we must let go of the world, and allow His fire to burn away everything that is worthless and distracting. This world lies in darkness, and darkness flees from light. So it is impossible to walk with the Lord while clinging to the world.
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior His blood covers us and removes our sin. It is then that our journey with Him begins. His Light shines on us, in us, and through us. Nothing is hidden. So we have fellowship with Him, and we can safely and confidently abide in His Presence.
When Adam sinned he cut himself off from the Presence of God. He could no longer see God or walk with Him in the cool of the day. Adam hid himself because he was afraid. He had good reason to fear. That consuming fire would have destroyed him, as well as his future descendants. It was an act of mercy on God¡¯s part that He withdrew His Presence from the man He had created.
But he did not abandon man. There came a day when God sent His Son to redeem us and restore our broken fellowship with Him. In Jesus we live in the Presence of God and walk in the Light of Life. He leads us home to the One who is our dwelling place. (Ps. 90:1)

2Ch 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
