The Fellowship of Saints

What is meant by the communion of Saints? Communion of Saints is the functioning of the Church as we live together in fellowship here below. We are common partakers of Christ, as a result there is fellowship with each other. The love of Christ in our hearts allows us to prefer each other in love. There is diversity among us and together we make up the body of Christ with our own particular gifts. Through all of this we, together, help each other along in our life here below in our journey onto glory. Lord's Day 21 serves as a basis for this instruction.
