God is good and perfect. There is no stain in him. There is no darkness in him. Before we come to know him, we are all in darkness. And when we come to know him, we will change and live differently.
We cannot claim to know him and walk in darkness. We will at time stumble into darkness, but we will not let our eyes grow accustomed to the lack of light. To be accustomed to darkness means we are not accustomed to light, where he is. To live in relationship with him, we become accustomed to what he experiences. If we are with him, we will become pure and become more like him.
We cannot say we have never done anything wrong. If we had never done anything wrong, we would be like God. No one but God is perfect. That’s why we need someone to defend us. Jesus has satisfied God’s demand to punish evil. All evil, all over the world, has been dealt with because of Jesus’ sacrifice.
This doesn’t mean evil is gone. It means the evil people do will not come between them and God.
