Verse of the Day 

 

For Saturday, 11 April 2025, Verse of the Day.

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

—1 John 1:5  Verse of the Day

 

Thoughts on Today’s Verse of the Day

 

This verse marks the beginning of the main part of the letter, which centres on “walking in the light.” This theme runs through to verse 10, the end of the chapter. Echoing his words in verse 3, John states that he is speaking from direct experience. 

The use of “we” likely refers to John and the other apostles. They heard directly from Jesus and then proclaimed His teachings to others, including the believers who would read John’s letter many years later.

This message begins with the idea that God embodies complete goodness and truth, with no evil or falsehood. It employs the imagery of light and darkness, common themes in the New Testament. As in verse 1, John refers to both the creation story in Genesis chapters 1 and 2 and the opening of his own Gospel in John chapter 1. 

God’s first recorded words are “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). John 1:4–5 states, “In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

In 1 John 1:5, John states that God is light. He is free from any darkness or shadow. He is both perfect and sinless. — Verse of the Day.

 

My Prayer…

 

Dear Heavenly Father, in reverence, we come before You, seeking Your divine protection against the spirit of Delilah, which seeks to deceive and weaken our strength.

Lord, grant us the wisdom to recognise the whispers of temptation and the courage to remain steadfast in our faith.

Fill our hearts with hope and confidence in Your unwavering love, guiding us away from any influence that would lead us astray.

May Your light shine brightly within us, illuminating the path of righteousness and steadfastness throughout our journey. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen. — verse of the day.

Genesis 1:28 – Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves on the earth.

Mark 12:30-31 – Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.

Genesis 8:22 – “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”The Psalm of Victory 23:5 – You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. The Lord provides for us more generously than our hearts can desire. The enemies can do nothing about God’s generosity but can only watch and admire the victory the Lord has given us.

Romans 8:38 – 38 – For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Isaiah 54:17 – No weapon formed against thee shall prosper, and thou shalt condemn every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, whose righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Ephesians 6:12 – For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Psalm 121: 5-8 – The Lord watches over you; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life. The Lord will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.

Psalm 24: 1-2- The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.
