DAY 31 - Fellowship with one another

 DAY 31 - Fellowship with one another

1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son purifies us from all sin.

Verse 3 shows us the source of our fellowship.  It says, “we proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us.”

It is not that we root for the same team, or that we are all Texans, or even Americans.  What gives us fellowship is the shared love and faith in Jesus.  This means your skin color, nationality and even your political leanings are not what bind us together.

Back in College Russ Taff sang a song that said, “You’re my brother you’re my sister so take me by the hand, if you believe in Jesus you belong with me.” That pretty much sums it up.

We can “fellowship” with each other based on some shared opinions…or we can have true “Fellowship” with each other based on our shared destination.
