Fellowship with God and one another

Lady of Light

The book of 1 John is interesting because in the first chapter and the first 4 verses illustrate that John was speaking about things that he actually saw and heard and handled of the Word of life:

"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
(For the life was manifested and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal like, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us.) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ."

John continues to say in V. 6-7:

If we say that we have fellowship with hi, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Chris his Son cleanse us from all sin."

This is a wonderful promise, to be cleansed of all sin, but we must confess our sins and "walk in the light".

Fellowship with God is a gift from God to us and the same is true of fellowship with one another.

Follow this teaching, and you will find your relationship with God and others to be so much more meaningful.

God bless you and have a great day!
