1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Fellowship is an important concept in the Bible. It is vitally important to growth and maturity in Christian life.
Philippians 2:1-3 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
We are not only to have fellowship with Christ but also with other Christians. We are supposed to be like minded. We should make every effort to find a church that not only preaches the word, but that we can be alike.
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
There is a lot of room for diversity in the church. But there is only one head, that is Jesus Christ. Him being the head, we also need to get His mind if we are ever going to live in God's will.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
We need to study and pray everyday. That is what it means to have fellowship with God. That is what he rewards.
Heavenly Father, give us your mind. Help us to have fellowship with you every day. In Jesus name, amen.
