What is Fellowship

Fellowship with God is the most important thing there is. It is the summary of the Christian, the whole of what God calls us to, and the solution to all our problems. John puts fellowship with one another where we expect fellowship with God, showing the two to be inseparably connected. There is no fellowship with people apart from fellowship with God because fellowship with people is sharing together in God. And there is no fellowship with God apart from fellowship with people because God loves people and requires that we love them in order for us to be near Him (think of the love you receive from the Church because God is like that!) Watch out for the “I don’t need friends” pride and the “It’s your fault when my needs aren’t met” pride. WALK IN THE LIGHT!
