Honesty
The first step on the Pathway is learning to see yourself and your life through God’s perfect understanding. This involves recognizing that God knows the full truth about us and desires to help us live authentically. Scripture refers to this honest way of living as “walking in the light” (1 John 1:5-9).
1 John 1:5-9
ESV
Walking in the Light5
"This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
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 cleanses us from all sin.
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
