In their relations to others, children of light are able to be completely transparent because they walk in goodness, have no use for darkness, and thus achieve real contact or fellowship with others—especially other apprentices of Jesus: "If we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1:7). And "The one who loves his brother abides in the light and there is no cause of offence in him" (1 John 2:10, par). There is no need to extend great effort to conceal their thoughts and feelings (nor do they impose them upon everyone). Because of their confidence in God, they do not try to manipulate and manage others. Needless to say, in their social contexts they do not go on the attack or on the hunt, intending to use or to hurt others.
