1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 1 John 2-1-3 Scripture Insight

Beloved, we have been instructed to live holy and flee from participating in the sins of this world. However, GOD knows that we are subject to fall, and because of this He sent us an advocate in the person and personality of Jesus Christ who is “The Righteous One”.
We must understand that Christ was sent for the soul purpose to bridge the gap which separates man from GOD caused by the sins of this world. Jesus Christ is the gift given from GOD for the whole world to benefit from and through. In order to be a partaker in of the precious gift of GOD’s righteousness, we must keep the established commandments implemented by Christ Jesus when He said: “Thou Shalt Love The Lord Thy GOD With All Thy Heart, And With All Thy Soul, And With All Thy Mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself.” Matthew 22:37-39
In other words we must love one another in the same manner in which GOD has shown His love towards us. His spoken word is true, and when we speak our word should also be true for those that hear them. When we abide in Christ and He abides in us, than we ought to walk as He walked in the light of Righteousness. The True Light which cast out all sins and darkness; the True Light that keeps us from stumbling or falling; the True Light that makes crooked roads straight and bumpy roads smooth. He is the True light that opens up blinded eyes, and shows us the truth through the perfect LOVE of Christ Jesus.
However, when we display hatred toward one another, we operate in darkness and the True Light of Jesus Christ does not abide in us and this my Sisters and Brothers will cause us to stumble and fall. Please understand an unrighteous person walks in the darkness of this world and until they have an encounter with the True Light of the World Jesus Christ the Righteous One they will not be able to walk in the light of righteousness.
Again my beloved Sisters and Brothers, Jesus was sent into the world by GOD for this purpose as He is recorded saying in the Book of Acts during Saul of Tarsus encountered with Him on the road to Damascus; “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sin, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Acts 26:18
“Light will always cast out Darkness”
