Fellowship is one of those strange words the is thrown around Christian circles more than dirty clothes on my bedroom floor. Fellowship, though, is one the grandest and most nourishing parts of the Christian experience and it's high time we reclaim that word for all its significance.
Fellowship, generally speaking, refers to genuine Christian community. People of faith getting together for the expressed purpose of vulnerability, growth, and mutual affection. Fellowship is the prescribed mode for the people of God to be sanctified as Christ's Church.
True fellowship requires Christian brothers and sisters gathering together in Christ. We have been reconciled in Christ and by faith we can come together in love and affection, to grow as one people, the Church.
There is no substitute for this kind of transformational fellowship, when the people of God truly get together to praise together, worship together, cry together, study together, pray together, and to grow together. Let us then strive to make a regular habit of fellowship!
