Fellowship With Him, and Within the Body of Christ

Fellowship: "Being in someone’s company, or a community of people, who share common beliefs or interests." As Christians it’s important we have fellowship. Intentionally spending time with God allows us the opportunity to be in the light of God’s presence and to deepen our relationship with Him. This then also allows us to enjoy fellowship with other believers.

I’ve heard it said that you can tell a lot about a person by HOW they spend their time, and WHO they spend their time with. The above verse explains that claiming to be a Christian, but living a life without fellowship with Him, one that doesn’t reflect Christ, is a lie.

Conversely, spending time with God, and with people who have chosen to live for God is a key discipline to walking in truth and developing spiritual maturity. The light of God is vital for our spiritual walk; being in His presence is transforming. It allows Him to convict us of our sinful nature, and allows our mind to be renewed. It increases our joy so we can enjoy companionship and unity with those who are also in fellowship with God, and gives us grace to cover their shortcomings. This is our God.
