God is Light – 1 John 1:5 | Finding Assurance in the Word of God (Part 7)

God is Light | 1 John 1:5 Finding Assurance in the Word of God – Part 7 📅 January 11, 2026 In 1 John 1:5, the apostle John proclaims a foundational truth for the Christian life: “God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.” In this sermon, we continue our series Finding Assurance in the Word of God by examining what it means that God is light—perfectly holy, pure, and utterly separate from sin. John writes as both an apostle and a pastor, seeking to aid, encourage, establish, and protect believers who were being shaken by false teachers. This message emphasizes: The unchanging gospel received from Christ Himself The holiness of God as the starting point for true theology The danger of walking in darkness while claiming fellowship with God Why assurance of salvation must rest in who God is, not who we are The necessity of beginning with God’s light before speaking of His love Drawing from Scripture and insights from faithful theologians such as A.W. Tozer, Stephen Charnock, A.W. Pink, and John MacArthur, this sermon calls us to humble repentance, joyful obedience, and confident assurance grounded in Christ alone. 🔔 Whether you are seeking assurance, clarity in confusing times, or a deeper understanding of God’s holiness, this message reminds us that true life, joy, and salvation are found only in the Light of Christ. 📍 Scripture Focus: 1 John 1:1–2:2 📅 Preached: January 11, 2026 👉 If this sermon encouraged you, don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more verse-by-verse teaching from God’s Word.
