1 John 1:7
_ _ Compare Ephesians 5:8, Ephesians 5:11-14. “WE WALK”; “God is (essentially in His very nature as ‘the light,’ 1 John 1:5) in the light.” WALKING in the light, the element in which God Himself is, constitutes the test of fellowship with Him. Christ, like us, walked in the light (1 John 2:6). Alford notices, Walking in the light as He is in the light, is no mere imitation of God, but an identity in the essential element of our daily walk with the essential element of God’s eternal being.
_ _ we have fellowship one with another — and of course with God (to be understood from 1 John 1:6). Without having fellowship with God there can be no true and Christian fellowship one with another (compare 1 John 1:3).
_ _ and — as the result of “walking in the light, as He is in the light.”
_ _ the blood of Jesus ... cleanseth us from all sin — daily contracted through the sinful weakness of the flesh, and the power of Satan and the world. He is speaking not of justification through His blood once for all, but of the present sanctification (“cleanseth” is present tense) which the believer, walking in the light and having fellowship with God and the saints, enjoys as His privilege. Compare John 13:10, Greek, “He that has been bathed, needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit.” Compare 1 John 1:9, “cleanse us from all unrighteousness,” a further step besides “forgiving us our sins.” Christ’s blood is the cleansing mean, whereby gradually, being already justified and in fellowship with God, we become clean from all sin which would mar our fellowship with God. Faith applies the cleansing, purifying blood. Some oldest manuscripts omit “Christ”; others retain it. |
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light — In all holiness. As God is (a deeper word than walk, and more worthy of God) in the light, then we may truly say, we have fellowship one with another — We who have seen, and you who have not seen, do alike enjoy that fellowship with God. The imitation of God being the only sure proof of our having fellowship with him. And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son — With the grace purchased thereby. Cleanseth us from all sin — Both original and actual, taking away all the guilt and all the power. |
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the (d) light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, (4) and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
(d) God is said to be light by his own nature, and to be in light, that is to say, in that everlasting infinite blessedness: and we are said to walk in light in that the beams of that light shine to us in the Word. (4) A digression the matter at hand, to the remission of sins: for this our sanctification who walk in the light, is a testimony of our joining and knitting together with Christ: but because this our light is very dark, we must obtain another benefit in Christ, that is, that our sins may be forgiven us being sprinkled with his blood: and this in conclusion is the support and anchor of our salvation. |
