HE CALLED US TO FELLOWSHIP

(The Fellowship Of The Heavenly Pantheon)

TO THE BIBLE:
1 Corinthians 1:9 AMPC
“God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”

LET’S TALK
I’m ever so grateful to the Lord for all that He’s made possible and available to us in Christ Jesus. Think about the possibility of fellowship with God. You wouldn’t find that in any religion, as no religion offers you fellowship with God. But Jesus brought us into fellowship with God. What an amazing reality!

In our prayers, for example, there’re special kinds of communication with God that help us build our spirits because we’re in a rich fellowship with the Lord. The Bible says in 1 John 1:3, “That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.” Also, 1 Corinthians 1:9 NIV says, “God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

The Apostle Peter takes it further in 2 Peter 1:3-4. He says, “…His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature….” The Greek word that’s translated “partakers” comes from the same root word as fellowship; it’s “koinonia.” Thus, “partakers of the divine nature” is translated from “koinonos theias phuseos,” and that means associates of the God-kind.

This implies that we’ve been brought into the fellowship of the divine, heavenly pantheon. No wonder the Bible says, “…You are gods…” (Psalm 82:6). The Lord Jesus, quoting the psalms, reiterated this truth in John 10:34, “…Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?” This is the wonder of Christianity; it’s the whole essence of the Lord’s death, burial, and His glorious resurrection.

How beautiful it is to know that we’re in fellowship with the Sovereign King, the Monarch of the universe, as John so succinctly puts it in 1 John 1:3. You’ve been translated from the ordinary realm of mankind to the supernatural class of the God-kind, where you can enjoy true, deep, and quality fellowship and union with divinity. What a blessing!

GO DEEPER
2 Corinthians 13:14 AMPC
The grace (favor and spiritual blessing) of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the presence and fellowship (the communion and sharing together, and participation) in the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen (so be it).

1 John 1:1-3
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; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 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 with his Son Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 6:17
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

PRAY
Dear Father, thank you for the vital nature of divinity and the inseparable oneness with you that I have in Christ. What an honour, blessing and privilege to be in fellowship with the blessed and only Potentate, the Monarch of the universe and only true and righteous God!
