We have been called unto a unique relationship with God, it's called FELLOWSHIP. As we have made clear, a fellowship is a relationship between equals; those with a commonness of Sameness. To fully participate in Fellowship, there is need to understand the two dimensions to Fellowship. They are the Positional and Functional dimensions. In this part, we would be considering the positional aspect of Fellowship.
Positional Fellowship
This is the underlying premise of our divine Fellowship. It's Fellowship based on our position in Christ. It's got nothing to do with our actions. It's about God's declarations unto whosoever believes in Christ Jesus! John 1:12 tells, ' But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:' This Scripture tells us by believing in Christ, we became Sons of God; literal reproductions of God! Let's look at another Scripture in 2 Peter 1:4, ' Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,...' We have been granted exceeding Great and precious promises that have become the reasons why we are in Fellowship with God! An example is found in 2 Corinthians 6:16-7:1 tells us, ' And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.' See? He called us sons! Based on these, we are in Fellowship with God!
Meditate on these today and always! #Fellowship #GreaterGlory
