As I study the Word, I am enthralled at the immensity of God's love expressed to us in calling us unto a fellowship with himself! Truly, fellowship is defining; it reveals who we are. Today, my mind is on something special. It's understanding what we have become having been called unto fellowship with God! I believe it's because many believers do not know who they are in fellowship with! In Luke 9:51-56, Jesus got a cold shoulder reception from a village. With righteous indignation, James and John asks the Lord for them to call down fire from heaven. Verse 55 gives the Lord's response: 'But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of'. This meant that they acted the way they did because they lacked understand of what manner of Spirit they were of or as I like to put it: Who they were in fellowship with! But bless God, John knew later on. In 1 John 1:3, he says '.. and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.' This was his claim to walking in love! By recognizing who he was in fellowship with, he that was fierce, became the Apostle of Love!
My point is, we have been taught to see ourselves apart from God and Christ, and see ourselves as unworthy, depraved and destitute of good! This is why many still struggle with sin. Yet, God has created us in Christ, and we are: HOLY, RIGHTEOUS AND IRREPROACHABLE! We see ourselves apart from God rather than in God! How wrong we have been! We are in fellowship with God! Therefore, we are righteous because he is righteous! Holy because he is Holy! Our lives and natures are in resonance with him! This is the beauty of fellowship! Look into God's mirror today! Call yourself what he calls you! See yourself as his reflection in the World! Glory to God for this! #Fellowship #GreaterGlory
