October 7, 2023 – The Key to Experiencing Fellowship with God
2 Peter 1:3-4
Sermon: 2099 The Sweetest Fellowship This Side of Heaven, Part 2
Pray Over This
“As 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, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
2 Peter 1:3-4
Ponder This
What is fellowship? Fellowship is not coffee and donuts. Fellowship is not, as some people cutely say, “two fellows in the same ship.” This is a very technical word. It is the Greek word koinonia, which means “to hold things in common.” Because of Jesus, we experience fellowship with God, and we have fellowship one with another. What do I have in common with the Father? Nothing. He’s holy, and I’m unholy; He is almighty, and I am a worm. So how can Adrian have fellowship with God? This is how: God, who knows the chasm between us, sent the Lord Jesus Christ to take on human flesh. Jesus became a man. He never discarded His deity but took on humanity. Because of His work, we begin to have likeness together. Jesus took the very nature of man so that we might take the nature of God. So, I have fellowship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Because of this, I can walk and talk and have fellowship with Him.
- How have you experienced fellowship with God?
- Why is having fellowship with God so valuable?
Practice This
Take a walk and talk to God about your life and struggles. Thank Him for the work He did so that you might have fellowship with Him and others.
