We know we are walking in the light if we have fellowship with one another and if the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin, according to 1 John 1:7.
The assurance of walking in the light manifests itself through fellowship with other believers and the ongoing cleansing of our sins by Jesus' blood. In 1 John 1:7, it states, 'if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.' This verse underlines the importance of both community and the transformational work of Christ in our lives. A life aligned with God's commands, demonstrated through love and obedience, is an indication that we are indeed in the light.
