According to 1 John 1:3, what are the dimensions of this fellowship?

   When we examine this passage it has several dimensions of
   fellowship. The first dimension that we see in the passage
   is the dimension that is with the disciples. The Word
   of life will bring us into fellowship with one another.

   In addition to this level of fellowship through the Word
   of life we are also brought into fellowship with the Holy
   trinity. The Word of life brings us in contact with the
   Father ,Son ,and the Holy Spirit.

How is this Christian fellowship in its ideal form portrayed in the
New Testament? See Acts 2:42-47, Rom. 12:3-17.

   Acts 2:42-47

   This passage talks about several things concerning the early
   christian community. When I contemplate them it is quite
r   emarkable and I wonder can we reach back to this place.

   In this community the church followed in the teaching of
   the Apostles, and they broke bread together and they prayed
   together. This passage also talks about how they had all
   things common. This truly is the ideal community. This is
   what we are working back towards.

   Rom. 12:3-17

   This passage gives a beautiful picture of the way the
   Christian community should be. It talks mostly about the
   mindset and the attitude that the believers should have
   toward each other. A short summary is simply to love others
   as Jesus did. Paul gives a very good description that will
   help us see more specifically how God's love should be
   manifested practically.

What has been your own experience regarding Christian fellowship? What can you do differently? How can you better
enjoy,and help others enjoy, the community of fellowship that's our privilege
as Christians to have?

   I believe that one way that we are brought into fellowship
   is through the needs of the community. If we are wiling
   to spend ourselves on behalf of others I believe that we
   we be brought into greater fellowship with on another.
   The blessings that we give to others in helping them will
   be blessings distributed back to us.

Prayer: Father thank you for all that you have done. I pray the
through the word of life you will increase our level of fellowship
with you and with one another. I pray God that you will remove
every hindrance to this fellowship. Thank you Father in the name
of Jesus I pray amen.
