The Joy of Fellowship


I love to fellowship with the Saints of God. It brings strength and joy when we gather together.

“When two or more are gathered in my name, I am there also.” The Lord’s gives us the word. It’s a good word, the comfort of knowing that if we seek God’s word and seek him, we will find Him . Fellowship is an important aspect of the life of a believer.

The real benefits of Fellowship are obvious. We share time together and share God’s word with fellow believers. We receive ongoing affirmation about our walk with God. We have awesome interaction with others. I enjoy Teaching Bible Studies and Preaching God's word. It enriches my life.

God is life. God is love. Those who love him must possess His quality of life. We are to have true fellowship with Him and with each other.

In the Bible we read in 1 John 1:5-7 “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have Fellowship with Him and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice 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 Christ cleanses us from all sin.”

The power of believers gathering in prayer and thanksgiving is a powerful force that will be heard. When in fellowship, we are of one mind. When we are of one mind, we are within God’s will as Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 13:11: “Farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort. Be of one mind, live in peace; and the love of God and peace will be with you.”

Fellowship s an important part of a Christians life. It provides accountability, It provides a loving ear, a shoulder to lean on. Remember that two are better than one, unless, of course, the one is Jesus !
