It was more than we could have hoped for! First they gave themselves to the Lord; and then, by God’s will they gave themselves to us as well. (2Corinthians 8:5)
Hebrews 10:25 tells us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, we are to encourage one another all the more, since you see that the Day of the Lord is coming nearer.
So why is Fellowship so Important?
You see you and I belong in God’s Family with other Believers. Galatians 6:10
So then, as often as we have the chance, we should do good to everyone, and especially to those who belong to our family in the faith.
We are no longer as those who have no part or place in the kingdom of God, but we are numbered among the saints as the family of God. We resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, and Jesus is the chief keystone, and He keeps all rightly joined together as the holy house of God. (Ephesians 2:19 - 21)
And though we are many different people, we are one family and we are all joined to each other by Jesus Christ as different parts of one family (Romans 12:5)
You see I need other Christians to grow spiritually. Hebrews 10:24 tells me to be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good!
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively. If one of them falls down, the other can help him up. But if someone is alone and falls, it’s just too bad, because there is no one to help him. If it is cold, two can sleep together and stay warm, but how can you keep warm by yourself? Two men can resist an attack that would defeat one man alone. A rope made of three cords is hard to break.
Proverbs 27:17; tell me I need encouragement to grow spiritually. People learn from one another, just as iron sharpens iron.
We are not to be deceived by sin and become stubborn. We must help one another every day, as long as the word “Today” in scripture applies to us. One of the main things we need to do as members of God’s family is to protect the unity of the family
(Hebrews 3:13) - (Galatians 6:1-2)
Matthew 18:20 tells us that Jesus Christ is present when we fellowship together.
For where two or three come together in My name, I am there with them.
Where there is cooperation when people pray together God will act.
And I tell you more: whenever two of you on earth agree about anything you pray for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. (Matthew 18:19) Let us think about that.
Who knows John 17:21; this is one of the verses The Lord gave to this church. I believe that fellowship is a witness to the world and this is Jesus prayer for us as God’s people.
I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as You are in Me and I am in You. May they be one, so that the world will believe that You sent Me.
I am a servant to every other Christian. 1Peter 4:10 tells us that each one of us are to be good managers of God’s different gifts and use for the good of others the special gift we have received from God.
There are different ways of serving, but the same Lord is served.
All of you are Christ’s body, and each one is a part of it. (1Corinthians 12:5 and 27)
We are to serve one another and accept one another. As Jesus forgives us we are to forgive one another. The Lord calls each of us to greet one another and to bear one another’s burdens.
We are to honour one another, teach one another and be devoted to one another. Our Father wants us to encourage one another and to submit our lives to one another.
Important; “Christians who are not committed to a fellowship as active members in worship, praying, serving each other, etc. are not obedient to the Lord. ‘They are most definitely not in the will of God.’ It does not matter how vocal he or she may be in their knowledge of scripture they are not obeying the Lord.”
