Topic: Christianity—A Fellowship
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (1 Corinthians 1:9).
Real or authentic Christianity is God alive and functioning in a human person. It's the pulsating life of Christ in a human body; divinity at work in humanity. This is what many haven't understood about Christianity; the fact that it's a living relationship with a living God.
This is what Jesus made possible for us: fellowship with God. That's the biggest thing, the all-inclusive word that Christianity is about: FELLOWSHIP; everything else is inside it.
The greatest glory of Christianity is our fellowship with God. Once you come into that relationship, everything changes for you. The Lord Jesus Christ brought us into oneness, communion, partnership, union, and comradeship with Almighty God! He died, was buried, and God raised Him up with a new kind of life.
The Bible says He was "…crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man" (Hebrews 2:9). He did all He did to bring us into a divine, heavenly pantheon. Now, we're partakers of the divine nature. The Bible says He has "…raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:6). He brought us into Himself.
Now, from that place, in Him and through Him, you're reigning in life. This is what Christianity is about; God's work in a man. It's a call to oneness with Divinity. You have the divine life of God, and you're in an everlasting fellowship with Him. This is a real experience. He took up His abode in you for you to live in, and through Him.
Get to know the reality of this relationship and live beyond mere religion. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the wonderful life I have in Christ and the everlasting fellowship I have and enjoy with you. I function in this oneness and live the life you've preordained for me before the foundation of the world: a life of progress, success, peace and prosperity; something greater than religion, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
