God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:9
Fellowship, a meeting and a concept; a joy and a delight. We may not know it until we miss it, but fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ is in all of us through God's own Spirit. However, there is a deeper and stronger need for the reborn believers - we want fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
We want to run to our Lord Jesus and be welcomed by Him. The prophecy He spoke about those He never knew is one of our deep fears that the Spirit assures us against so very often. That is also one of the most common doubts thrown at us by the enemy. Yet, throughout the scriptures, especially in the words of Jesus Himself, there are the words of welcome, commands even to come to Him directly, reassurances of His constant faithfulness, and the love He bore for us even to the cross at Calvary.
Yes, you and me, the ones we see filthy with sin and so easily fallen to temptation. We, the sick and the lame both emotionally and physically, are called to fellowship in the Lord Jesus Christ. Who would call ones such as we? Paul said it was God.
There ya go! Bucky
