In John 3:19-21, Jesus explains the reason that people do not believe and follow Him. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

An unsaved man loves his sin and remains unsaved due in part because he refuses to give his sin up. He might understand the need to be saved, but he will not come to the light in repentance and forsake his sin. The love of sin is the mark of a lost man.

The Bible clearly teaches that when a man is saved his life is drastically changed, yet there are so many who profess to be the children of God whose lives remain virtually unaltered. The key in determining who is truly a Christian and who is not can be revealed by the way they live their lives and their attitude toward sin.

1 John 1:5-6 This is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth.

It is one thing to believe truth but it is another to do truth. In a biblical sense, truth is not only thinking and believing, but also doing or acting. We must follow truth as well as believe it. Truth always illuminates the soul. Darkness is the absence of light,. Wherever there is no light, there is darkness. Truth resides in the translucent atmosphere where we can see our impurities against the absolute character of God.

Those who claim to fellowship with God but continue in sin, just kid themselves. They are not in fellowship. A crucial element to the Christian life is the recognition and acknowledgment of our sin. Walking in the light means that we are open to God. We are not afraid to expose any aspect of our lives to Him. God cannot fellowship with us while we have unconfessed sin in our lives.

Luke 11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in you be not darkness.

Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

In other words, since we are children of light, we are to live like we are a part of the “light”, not separated from it! This “light” is the light the Lord brings to the sin-darkened and hell-bound sinner. Because you have been delivered from darkness and have been made children of the light, you have an obligation to, “walk as children of light.”

1 John 2:8-11 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

Again…
