What is Christian Fellowship? (1/4)
For many, fellowship revolves around ‘social’ events – A get together - Having a meal - Games in the park – An outing to the seaside - Even the Sunday service
There is nothing wrong with any of these things in themselves. What they do is provide an opportunity for Christian fellowship to happen.
So what is Christian fellowship?
The Scriptures indicate that fellowship is sharing, communing, participating together in the Christian life; it is being involved with one another in living for Christ.
It is also referred to as the work of ministry, service, and care for one another and it leads to growth, edification and a sense of family unity and belonging.
It is working together to grow in Christ and requires self-sacrifice, humility, endurance, faith and the help of the Holy Spirit.
Since fellowship is to help people grow, it must be a means for ministering the Word of God, for by it we too grow.
