1 John 1:6 note 6 (RcV) |
 | | (1) God, who is light and love, incarnated to be the reality of the divine things, such as the divine life, the divine nature, the divine power, and the divine glory, for us to possess, that we may enjoy Him as grace, as revealed in John’s Gospel (John 1:1, 4, 14-17). |
 | | For instance, in John 3:21, according to the context, it denotes uprightness (the opposite of evilJohn 3:19-20), which is the reality manifested in a man who lives in God according to what He is and which corresponds with the divine light, which is God, as the source of the truth, manifested in Christ. |
 | | In John 4:23-24, according to the context of that chapter and also according to the entire revelation of John’s Gospel, it denotes the divine reality becoming man’s genuineness and sincerity (the opposite of the hypocrisy of the immoral Samaritan worshipperJohn 4:16-18) for the true worship of God. |
