John encourages us to walk in the light. What things or actions can make one's Christian life 'dark? What can we do
Answer:
Doctrine and Covenants 45:7
7 For verily I say unto you that I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the light and the life of the world—a light that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
Jesus Christ is the light of the world. His light is shining brightly "and the darkness comprehendeth it not". We walk in His light as we follow Him, keep His commandments, and reflect His light to others as we become a good example to others and help them see the light of Christ.
But because we are here in mortality, sometimes we will stumble and do some things that are not right. This is the time when we realize we are already in the dark. As we repent and come unto Christ with a broken heart and contrite spirit, He will receive us arms wide open.
To always follow God's commandments, we must first love and trust Him. As we love God with all our heart, might, mind, and strength, no matter what He commands us, we will follow Him and let Him prevail in our lives. Just like how Nephi loved and trusted the Lord when the Lord commands them to return to Jerusalem.( 1 Nephi 3:7 )
