Light and Darkness
By Roy Hession0Roy Hession emphasizes the significance of walking in the light to achieve genuine fellowship with God and others. He explains that light reveals our true selves, while darkness conceals our sins and leads to duplicity and pretense. Sin causes us to hide, just as Adam and Eve did in the garden, and this separation from God prevents authentic relationships with others. Hession highlights that God is pure light, devoid of any darkness, making it impossible to have true fellowship with Him while we remain in darkness. Therefore, to experience real communion with God and our brothers, we must embrace the light and confront our hidden sins.
