In the first part of this teaching, we looked at the first dimension: Positional Fellowship. We learnt that our positions in Christ have brought us fellowship with God! Now, I'd like us to consider the functional aspect of Fellowship.
Functional Fellowship.
You know, it's one thing to be born a human being and it's another to act accordingly. Based on our new natures in Christ, we are associates with God in the divine nature. But, we also have to 'Function' in the divine nature. By so doing, we come to maximum utilization of our new natures in Christ. How do we function in the divine nature? 1 John 1:7, ' But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.' By walking in the light, we enjoy functional fellowship with the Lord! But, what's this light? 1 John 2:10, ' He that loveth his brother abideth in the light...' Walking in love is enjoying fellowship with God in light! You see, Jesus came to reveal two things. He came to reveal the life of God; Zoe. He also came to reveal the lifestyle of God; Agape! Jesus revealed Zoe, which is eternal life. He also revealed Agape, the God kind of love! We have been fitted by Grace to walk in love! All we need to do is to acknowledge it's presence in us and walk accordingly! Glory to God! #Fellowship #GreaterGlory
