Message from Scripture: 5/11/2020

Good day! Our message from Scripture today comes from 1 John 1:7; "If we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

New Testament Christianity, offers us wonderful benefits both readily perceived as well as those that are more intangible. One of those remarkable advantages we have as part of the body of Christ is in the value our fellowship offers us. What does our sharing together in the gospel provide us?

Without the fellowship of brothers/sisters in Christ, the world has a greater influence in how we view life than the spiritual; fellowship reminds us of who we are, and what we are living for. “Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you” (2 Cor. 13:11).

Our fellowship renews our hearts, putting us in contact with others who are concerned, who also struggle with life, who can help support and encourage us. “Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing” (1 Thess. 5:11).

Our fellowship also renews us in doing what we can, and how much each of us can do when we join together in living for Christ. “For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another” (Gal. 5:13).

We become better people when we share our lives together in Christ, when we encourage together, work together, worship together. Stay engaged with each other, and find God’s rich blessings for your lives. Have a great day. God bless.
