- That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.
- The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.
- We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
- We write this to make our joy complete.
- This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
- If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
- But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
- If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
- If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.
inorder to have fellowship as Christians.
We must put above all others,
the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit,
he said in 1 John 1:3
that Our fellowship is with the Father
and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
We need each other! Think of how often Scripture challenges us to do something to, with, or for “one another.” True Christianity is about true community. And true community is about the blessings of fellowship with those who share one big thing in common--a love for the Father, Jesus Christ and His Word, and the Holy Spirit.
I have written all verses from my NIV bible
where the words "one another" are in the verse.
True fellowship happens when believers spend time together encouraging each other from the Bible. It’s not about a warm fuzzy feeling or a tingle down your spine. It’s about praying together, bearing one another’s burdens, encouraging one another to do good works and keeping each other focused on what truly counts. When trouble comes and you need someone you can trust with the core issues of your heart, there’s no one like another true believer who can pray with you and help you carry the cross. Granted, sometimes authentic fellowship isn’t all that pleasant. Have you ever had a brother or sister lovingly point out a fault in your life? That may hurt, but only if you allow your feelings to be hurt and take responsibility for your feelings! We should not blame others for our feelings. You may want to say, “No thanks, I don’t want to be a part of that.” That’s what fellowship is about--facing ourselves as we really are and finding someone to encourage us to get off the dime if our attitudes and actions are lame, and we need to get back on the journey of becoming more like Jesus.
But whether comforting or convicting, engaging in mutually beneficial fellowship is the heartbeat of true Christianity.
Of course, there are times when we all let each other down, which means that even true fellowship with other Christ-followers is imperfect. The only person who will never disappoint you is Jesus. And the good news is that you are called to have fellowship with Him! You are called to walk with Him each day--to take part in His suffering if necessary, to sample the luxury of His love, and to be free from the slavery of sin. In John 15:15-25, Jesus said:
15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
17 This is my command: Love each other.
18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
20 Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’£ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
23 He who hates me hates my Father as well.
24 If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’
with one another and with the Father,
with Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
Do you have a Christian friend to whom you would give permission to graciously show you where you fall short and help you back into the way? Let that person know you are ready and willing--and don’t get upset when he takes you up on the offer!
If you have a concordance, look up all the New Testament references to “one another” and make a list of specific ways that you can fellowship with fellow followers of Jesus.
You may wish to read John 14 to John 17 to see what Jesus wants for your life.How much true fellowship do you have in your life? When you spend time with believers, are you only about having fun, or is there a deeper purpose?
It is one way that my family and I fellowship with
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
