God’s desire to be in fellowship with us

Based upon God’s Word, there’s absolutely no doubt that He wants to be in constant “Koinonia” with each and every one of His children! Now the question is … is it a conditional relationship to live our lives in partnership with Jesus?

1 John 1:6-7 says,

“So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.”

The evidence (or condition) of our constant fellowship with God’s Spirit, is not in what we say as much as it is how we live!

Jesus knew we could not fulfill & obey His commands on our own, so He’s provided us with the Holy Spirit to guide us every step of the way … John 14:7 says,

“The Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He remains with you continually and will be in you.”

Through our faith and confident trust in Jesus, we can live caring about others more than we care about ourselves … and obey His clear commandments laid out before us.

1 John 3:23-24 says,

 “This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love and seek the best for one another, just as He commanded us. The one who habitually keeps His commandments remains in Him, and He in him. By this we know and have the proof that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.”
