God is light and sin is darkness.  "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." -1 John 1:7.  Jesus has paid the penalty for our sins and his blood has washed away our sins.  Just as Jesus has risen from the grave, we have risen to a new life with him! -Pastor Mike
